Cadw's description
Location
Situated on the main commercial street which runs from south-east to north-west across Abergavenny.
History
Possibly late C16, remodelled in the C18 and altered in the C20. A photograph taken in 1913 indicates that this may be a continuous jetty house.
Interior
Chamfered cross-beams, supported by the jetty beam are visible in the ground floor shop, otherwise interior not inspected at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a late C16 house and shop which, despite alteration, retains good character and has strong group value with the other historic buildings in Cross Street.
