In the street leading north-east out of the town square in the centre of Monmouth.
History
c1837, built as part of the town's road access concurrent with the laying out of Priory Street, designed by G V Maddox. This group is a complete rebuild right through to Priory Street, but the Church Street elevation appears to retain the historic street line.
Exterior

Interior
Interior not available at resurvey, apart from the shop premises.
Reason for designation
Included in a higher grade for its exceptional architectural interest as part of an important piece of early C19 town planning in the Monmouth centre.
