Jones Almshouses (part of Monmouth Boys School)

Jones Almshouses, part of Monmouth Boys School, are built of red sandstone with Bath stone dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof behind parapets. The building is two storeys high, with ten windows and six doors on the ground floor, and a total of thirteen windows on the upper floor. The façade is designed with four one-storey gabled porches and two two-storey porches, arranged in a specific sequence: a one-storey porch followed by two windows, then a two-storey porch followed by a six-window range that includes two single-storey porches. The right end continues with a two-storey porch, two additional windows, and a single-storey porch. The doors are double plank with strap hinges, set in 4-centred arches topped with coped gables, and the two-storey porches feature finials. The windows are 2-light with small 2 over 3 pane sashes, while above them are single light 1 over 2 pane sashes with marginal glazing, and 2-light windows in the porches. The stone coped parapets have kneelers, and there are five tall clustered stacks on the ridge, each with four flues capped by decorative terracotta pots.

On the right side of the building, there is a ground floor window, a moulded band between the storeys, and a blind niche with a dripmould in the gable. This niche bears the inscription, "These alms-houses were founded A.D.1616 by Mr. William Jones Citizen and Haberdasher of London. Rebuilt by the Governors the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers London 1842 Thomas Howell Esq. Master J B Bunning Archt."

The rear elevation features a lean-to verandah that spans the full length of the building, consisting of nine bays with sandstone piers that conceal iron posts. The ground floor has been altered and ceiled during the 1961 conversion, and above the roof, there are a series of very low 3-light windows under the eaves.

Originally, the almshouses contained small rooms and minimal facilities. The interiors were converted for office use in 1961, leading to various alterations, with further changes made more recently.
