History
The building was formerly an inn known as the Harp Inn in 1801 and consisted of two tenements. It was converted by a local banker in the mid-19th century.[1][2] In 1839–1840, Captain Charles Harrison Powell was in residence when he served on the jury that convicted John Frost and two others for their part in the ChartistNewport Rising.[3]
In 1915 the building and grounds were used as a Red Cross auxiliary hospital for convalescent wounded soldiers of World War I. Mr Arnott was a prime benefactor of the hospital. A total of 1,422 patients were treated between 1915 and 1919.[4] The building was listed on 15 August 1974.[5][1]
As of 2012, the building and grounds are currently used as a residential and care home.[citation needed]
