The Beaufort Arms Hotel, Grade II* listed building in Agincourt Square, Monmouth, United Kingdom
Description
The Beaufort Arms Hotel is a three-and-a-half-story building with five bays across its facade and features a courtyard with former stables at its rear. Today it houses residential apartments and various retail shops throughout its converted spaces.
History
The building was constructed in the early 1700s as a working coaching inn for travelers. In the 1830s, architect George Vaughan Maddox redesigned its front facade, giving it much of its current appearance.
Culture
The building takes its name from the Dukes of Beaufort, powerful landowners who shaped this coaching inn and left their mark on the local community. The name reflects how closely this place was linked to the region's aristocratic families and their influence on everyday life.
Practical
The building sits on Agincourt Square in central Monmouth and is easy to reach on foot. Note that it now functions as residential and commercial space, so it is not open for public tours inside.
Did you know?
Two remarkable visitors passed through these doors during the hotel's heyday: Admiral Lord Nelson in July 1802 and The Rolling Stones during their 1964 UK tour. This connection to two very different eras shows how the place remained a destination for notable travelers.
