Cadw's description
Location
In the street leading north-east out of the town square in the centre of Monmouth.
History
Early C19 with a mid to late C19 shopfront. The building may have older fabric behind. Church Street had some widening as part of the improvements associated with Priory Street and White Swan Court in c1837, but according to the maps the south side of the street had been set back in part previous to this. It is not known whether No. 15 is a complete rebuild or if C17 fabric remains.
Exterior
Rendered and painted front, probably over brick, roof not visible from the street. Three storeys, four windows. Double depth plan. The ground floor has the shop doorway on the left with a part glazed door with overlight and reeded pilasters, double shopfront framed by panelled pilasters, plain stall-riser and fascia, double doors to right to rear entry. Plain 6 over 6 pane sashes on the first floor and 3 over 6 pane on the second floor. Plain coped parapet. Rear elevation not seen.
Interior
Interior not available at resurvey, apart from the shop premises.
Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural interest as a multi-period building and as part of the continuous run of historic buildings in Church Street.
