About The Shire Hall
Shire Hall is a former Court of Assizes and Quarter Sessions in the centre of Monmouth, South Wales. It is a Grade I listed, classically designed building in Agincourt Square.Shire Hall was the scene of the Chartist Trials of 1839/40. Courtroom 1 has been fully restored and is fully interactive, allowing visitors to sit in the Judge’s chair and go down to the holding cells to experience first-hand the conditions prisoners of the day had been subjected to. In 2011, the entire building was sympathetically refurbished to provide a modern facility which can accommodate Weddings, business meetings, Conferences, celebrations, community groups and exhibitions. All of this has been done whilst maintaining the integrity of this historically and architecturally important building.
