More formally known as the Castle and Regimental Museum, Monmouth, the Monmouth Regimental Museum ''(pictured)'' is located on Castle Hill in Monmouth, Wales, at the highest elevation of the town centre. It is within the 19th-century wing which extends from Great Castle House ''(pictured)'', a 17th-century, grade I listed building just northwest of Agincourt Square. Great Castle House is one of 24 blue plaque buildings on the Monmouth Heritage Trail. In 1673, it was constructed from the ruins of Monmouth Castle by the 1st Duke of Beaufort, then the 3rd Marquess of Worcester, as a town house while his other homes were being rebuilt.〔 The three-storey building is currently home to the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia), the most senior regiment in the British Territorial Army.〔 Described by BBC Worldwide's Lonely Planet as "a labour of love squeezed into a cupboard-sized space," the Castle and Regimental Museum was established in 1989 by the Duke of Gloucester.〔 It was last accredited in 2010 by the now defunct Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.〔 The museum has been given the Prince of Wales Award for its contribution to Monmouth.〔 The Monmouth Regimental Museum ''(link to website below)'' is staffed by volunteers and has free admission. It has been described as one of the "best amenities" in Monmouth.〔〔
