From the Wikipedia article
Ye Olde Murenger House is a 19th-century pub with a mock Tudor front on High Street, Newport, Wales. It replaced a 17th-century pub, the Fleur de Lys, on the same site. It is named after the medieval job of a murenger, a person who collected tolls for the repair of the town walls, and is Grade II listed due to its historic interest to the immediate area.

Background
History
The pub takes its name from the job of a murenger, a medieval person who collected tolls for the building or repair of town walls. The taxes were called a murage. It became a Grade II listed building in 1951 because of its historic interest to the immediate area.
Description
The pub has three jettied storeys plus an attic with the gable facing the street. The latter has a three-light casement window. The first and second storeys have broad oriel windows flanked by square panelling with a close studded band below. The facade of the ground floor is an early twentieth-century public house front on the left with a six-light window on the right side. It has a painting of the former undefeated Welsh heavyweight champion boxer David 'Bomber' Pearce and late Monmouth James Bond actor Desmond Llewellyn who played Q (James Bond) in the franchise.
