Monmouth House

Monmouth House is a small house dating to the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered brick with an old plain tile roof. The main block is two storeys and three bays wide, with a lower wing to the rear. The front elevation features a central 19th-century six-panel door within a thin architrave, with cut brackets supporting a pediment. Above the door is a blind opening. There are four 12-pane sashes, and on each side of both floors, a 16-pane sash beneath a cambered arch. A timber dentilled eaves cornice runs along the top, with overhanging eaves to the hipped roof on the right-hand side. A stack is located at the left-hand end, and a large stack or hip is situated behind the ridge. Historically, Monmouth House is known as the place where the Duke of Monmouth was held after his capture in 1685.
