Castle and Regimental Museum - Monmouth, Military museum in Monmouth, Wales.
The Castle and Regimental Museum occupies Great Castle House and displays military artifacts, documents, and equipment from a local regiment. The collections span different periods and are organized thematically across several rooms.
The regiment was founded in 1539 as a local militia under Henry VIII and stands as one of Britain's oldest military units. The museum itself opened in 1989 and records over four centuries of military history.
The museum presents the bond between the local regiment and Monmouth through displays of uniforms, badges, and personal possessions. These items tell the stories of people from the area who served in different conflicts.
The museum sits on Castle Hill and is easily reached on foot from the town center. Volunteer guides offer visitors insights that vary depending on the season and their availability.
The collection contains a medieval cooking pot without direct fire heating and items connected to where King Henry V was born. This link to the adjacent Monmouth Castle shows how deep the local history runs at this location.
