The large sign on the first floor, above the CA of the pub sign, states
The Carpenters Arms
Without fear of contradiction, The Carpenters Arms
is the oldest public house in Newport.
It was originally built in 1403,
as a meeting place for and by the tradesmen
of whom it is named after.
In addition to storing a fine stock of natural ale,
the cellars also housed those who broke the law.
Short term prisoners would serve their sentences here,
while more serious offenders would be taken
to the county gaol at Monmouth.
