Shire Hall

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:18:40

Agincourt Sq is dominated by the arcade of the 1724 Shire Hall, and a statue of former Monmouth resident Charles Stewart Rolls (1877-1910), one half of the team that founded Rolls-Royce. Not only a pioneering motorist and aviator, he was the first British citizen to die in an air accident (his statue is clutching a model of the Wright biplane in which he died).
