Ragland Castle: gateway and bridge The siege and capture of Ragland castle, by Fairfax, in August, 1646, A.D., when the library, containing a great treasure of MSS., wsa destroed, has been the subject of much lamentation; and the opprobrium of the deed has been laid (as is usual) upon Oliver Cromwell, who was not in the least concerned in it.

The engraving is of the medieval gatehouse on the River Monnow bridge, leading into Monmouth town from the west. It is not the usual view that is copied. The bridge, one of only two I believe still in being has recently been made pedestrian only as vehicle traffic was damaging it.
