History

Late C18 or early C19, probably very near to 1800 and possibly built as two pairs since Nos. 26 and 28 have their doorways on the outside and Nos. 30 and 32 on the inside. This house is the Presbytery of the Church of St. Mary adjoining, and may always have been. It seems to be shown as such on the 1835 John Wood map.

Exterior

Built of brick, but Nos. 26 and 32 are pebble-dashed and Nos. 28 and 30 are rendered and painted, Welsh slate roof. Three storey double depth terrace. Six over 6 pane sash windows, with keystones and voussoirs except for No. 28. No. 30 had a ground floor shopfront at listing in 1974, but this is now replaced by two windows. No 32 roughcast with a modern porch. Six-panel doors, Nos. 26, 28 and 30 have fan transoms over doors, and flat hoods supported on brackets, No. 32 has a modern canted hood. M-roof running parallel with the street, the front slope appears to have been altered, heightening the front wall, stack in between Nos. 26 and 28 and on outside walls of Nos. 30 and 32.
Rear elevation shows sash windows with 6 over 6 panes to No. 26, a large late C20 dormer to No. 28, gabled late C20 rear wings to Nos. 30 and 32.

Interior

Interior not seen at resurvey, but simple late-Georgian detailing is known to survive inside.

Reasons for Listing

Included for its special architectural interest as a late C18 or early C19 terrace of four houses of definite character in the Monmouth town centre.
