Court was originally a 13th century stone fortified manor house, founded by Sir
Bogo de Knovil. The large oval platform encased by a ditch, with a counterscarp
bank, now supports an early Tudor three gabled mansion house. A 14th century gatehouse,
with a large single vehicular archway gives access to the courtyard. Of two storeys
and an attic, it is flanked on both gables by tall square towers. Nearby by is
St Pierre Manor and 2 miles north-east is Chepstow
Town Gate.
Moynes Court is located west of Mathern, off the A48. 14 miles east of Newport, on the M4-M48-A48.
The site is visible from a public footpath, which passes the gatehouse from the church of St Tewdric, at Mathern.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
