Chepstow Museum is located in Bridge Street, near the Town Centre car park that also serves the Tourist info centre, and Chepstow Castle.
The Museum is a bit behind the times, and does not allow photography inside. Perhaps it should be in a museum.
"Chepstow Museum occupies Gwy House, a fine townhouse built in 1796 originally for Warren Jane, a wealthy apothecary and merchant. The building became a girls' high school in 1907, and was then used as a Red Cross hospital in World War I. In 1921 it became the Chepstow District Hospital, before being converted into the town museum in 1982. It retains many of its original internal features.
The museum collection and displays reflect the growth and history of Chepstow as a trading port from medieval times and Marches town and its location within the Wye Valley, attracting many poets and painters." text source: (
