Cornwall House is a town house located at numbers 56 and 58, Monnow Street in Monmouth, Wales. It dates in part from the 17th century but was rebuilt in several stages later. The street facade and rear facade are very different, but both are reworkings of a much older building. It is a Grade II * listed building, and has been described in ''The Buildings of Wales'' as "the most imposing house in the street".〔John Newman, ''The Buildings of Wales: Gwent/Monmouthshire'', Penguin Books, 2000, ISBN 0-14-071053-1, pp.409-410〕 Part has been the main office of the ''Monmouthshire Beacon'' newspaper since 1987. ==History and architecture== The house was constructed in several stages, and occupies the sites of at least three burgages. In 1678 it was known as the Great House and was owned by George Milborne, brother of the recusant George Milborne of Wonastow; in 1699 it was owned by Thomas Brewer, blacksmith.〔 The Duke of Beaufort's agent, Henry Burgh, acquired it and was responsible for building the Queen Anne style frontage facing the fields at Chippenham - at the rear of the building as it now appears.
