History and description
The original building formed part of the hospital of Usk Priory.[1] The roof of the present building dates from c.1400.[2] From the 17th century, the building was used as a gaol and the Catholic martyr David Lewis, aka Father Baker was imprisoned there in the 1680s.[2] The architectural historian John Newman; who refers to the building as No.28 , to which No.30 is joined and held in single ownership; notes the "hoodmould and idiosyncratic spurred stops" as the architectural features which enable dating to the early 15th century.[3]
