The Queen's Head Inn, St James Street, Monmouth 11 November 2015
The Queen' Head dates from the 16th Century, with 17th Century plasterwork still visible in the bar. The original stone was plastered over in some places and clad with stone in others; in 1922, gables were removed and mock black & white woodwork added in the style known as Brewers' Tudor. In 2005 it became a community pub, but today just one of the original group is running it.
During the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell stayed there several times. On one occasion, a Royalist attempted to assassinate him, but was pursued into the bar and shot dead.
