From the Wikipedia article
St James House is a grade II listed building in Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales. It is in the historic St James Square neighbourhood, within the medieval town walls. While the house currently has an attractive, 18th-century facade, it originated as a burgage tenement.

Recent residents of St James House have included boarding students from Monmouth School.
