These are the Montague Almshouses; the older of the two sets of almshouses in Chepstow.
They were provided in the will of Sir Walter Montague who died in 1615.
These almshouses originally housed 5 men and 5 women. The property was rebuilt after the Second World War, preserving part of the original facade.

Pro Isn't it a shame things like those satellite dishes couldn't be hidden? The buildings probably lost a lot of their character when they were rebuilt after the second world war, but it seems a sacrilege to adorn them with TV aerials and satellite dishes somehow.

They look strangely modern - you wouldn't think that satellite dishes would be permitted on such venerable buildings.
