The White Swan Inn, Coaching inn and Grade II* listed building in Monmouth, Wales

The White Swan Inn spans three stories with white stucco facade and features a central bow window with triple sash windows on each floor.

Originally established in 1709 as the Swan and Falcon, the building underwent reconstruction in 1839 under architect George Vaughan Maddox during Priory Street redevelopment.

The name White Swan connects to Mary de Bohun, mother of Henry V born in Monmouth Castle, whose family used the swan as their heraldic symbol.

The former inn now houses offices, shops, a coffee house, and a café bistro, accessible from both Priory Street and Church Street entrances.

During the Chartist Trials of 1840, the 12th Lancers troops were stationed at the inn, causing apprehension among Monmouth residents.
