Agincourt House, Grade II* listed building in Monmouth, Wales.
Agincourt House is a timber-framed building with two storeys and an oriel window that faces Agincourt Square in central Monmouth. The structure combines wooden frame construction with wattle and daub infill, typical of buildings from its period.
Construction began in 1624, as shown by the initials of William Roberts carved into the bargeboard above the gable. This marks an important period in Monmouth's residential development during the early modern era.
The house displays traditional building craftsmanship using timber framing and wattle and daub construction common to the area. Visitors can observe these methods reflected in the facade, showing techniques that defined local building practices for centuries.
The building underwent major restoration work completed in 2010 and now contains a clothing store on the ground floor with office spaces above. Access is directly from Agincourt Square where the timber-framed facade is clearly visible to passersby.
From 1830 until the late 1800s, the Coates family ran an ironmonger's business from the building. This shop was closely connected to nearby St Mary's Priory Church and played a role in Monmouth's local commerce for decades.
