The king’s statue can be seen in Agincourt
Square alongside that of Charles Rolls, one of
the founders of the Rolls-Royce motor company,
who was born nearby at Hendre. Charles’ father
was Lord Llangattock.
It was in the Shire Hall, built in 1724, that
some of the Chartists were tried in 1839. A
death sentence was later reduced to
transportation.
Other attractions include several old churches
and a museum dedicated to local history and
the life of Admiral Lord Nelson, one of the
town’s most famous visitors.
