Allt-y-Bela, Llangwym, Monmouth - under restoration
Allt-y-Bela - "Keeping up with the Edwards'"

In 1599, Roger Edwards built a unique three-storey tower extension to his farmhouse that set stylistic trends in the area, and became a significant building in the development of Early Renaissance architecture.
