Wye Valley B&B Brick House Bed and Breakfast Newport has a long and interesting history. The earliest Newport church records show that there has been a house on this site since 1450, it was then called White House Farm. Parts of the original house still show but the main Georgian facade was built around 1795.
The B&B accommodation was then owned by William Phillips a member of Parliament and prominent land owner.he also built Whitson Court in a nearby village and it was whilst building Whitson Court that he built Brick House for his son, also named William, for his return from the American colonies.However his son never returned as the ship carrying him home was wrecked in a storm and William was drowned.
Brick house Bed and Breakfast remained in the Phillilps family until 1901 when it was sold to Sir William James Thomas a coalmine owner from Cardiff and it became part of his vast estate. The present owners, Mr & Mrs Charles Park first became tenants of the farm in 1947 and eventualy purchased the property in 1972 from executors of Sir William James Thomas.
