Monnow Mill

Monnow Mill is a building of group value, likely dating to the 18th century, constructed primarily of local rubble stone with some ashlar detailing and covered by a Welsh slate roof. The building is largely obscured by creeper on its main road-facing elevation, which limits the detail that can be observed. The structure is two storeys and an attic, with a lower basement level that housed mill machinery, although this level is separate from the residential section of the building. Windows are irregularly placed and mostly late 20th-century hardwood casements. A late 20th-century gabled porch shelters the doorway on the right-hand side, leading to a late 20th-century door accessed by a flight of steps. The steeply pitched roof has a stack positioned at each gable. A small, single-storey wing was added to the right-hand gable in the late 20th century. The garden elevation was not visible during a resurvey in June 2004.

The mill sits on the east bank of the River Monnow, at a point where the river is quite steep. A nearby weir, now damaged, once supplied a water wheel located on the river’s west bank. The interior of the mill was not inspected during the 2004 resurvey.
