The Grange, Grade II listed building in Monmouth, Wales
The Grange is a Grade II listed building in Monmouth comprising three connected structures with a slate roof and a columned entrance porch. The complex sits within the medieval town walls on the north side of St James Street.
Captain Charles Philipps built the structure in the 18th century on former farmland when the north side of St James Street remained largely agricultural. This construction marked the area's shift from rural to urban development.
The building once served as a preparatory school run by the Haberdashers' Company before becoming a residence for Monmouth School students in 2009. You can see how the rooms have been adapted over time to support the school's boarding function.
The building sits conveniently within the medieval town walls and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Access is limited to scheduled visiting times since it operates as a school boarding house.
A firemark plaque decorates the facade, recording the original owner's historical involvement with local fire protection services. This small detail reveals how property owners once contributed directly to community safety.
