Cadw's description
Location
Part of the group on the principal street leading north and east from the town square.
History
Early C19 and externally little altered since. G V Maddox, the noted local architect, lived next door (qv No. 8 Monk Street) and may have designed these. The date of 1837 when Priory Street was laid out coincides with the accession of Queen Victoria, which probably explains the name of these two houses.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural intest as one of a pair of late Georgian houses on the north side of the Monmouth town centre.
