Monmouth School at the junction on the A40 opposite the Wye Bridge. http://www.monmouthschool.org/

Viewed across the A40. These are some of the newer buildings in Monmouth School, a boarding and day school for boys aged 7-18. Monmouth School was established in 1614 but nothing remains of the original buildings. Many of the school buildings date from 1865, when the school was substantially rebuilt on the same site. Here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2098646 is a more typical part of the school.

Rebuilt by the Governors the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers London 1842 Thomas Howell Esq. Master J B Bunning Archt.' Now used as offices, the almshouses were incorporated into Monmouth Boys School in 1961 when they were replaced by the almshouses in Whitecross Street.
