Union Lodge, Chepstow (General)

My best "guess" is that this formed, if you like, the gatehouse / gateway / entrance to Union Workhouse. It may have been provided as family housing, I do not think it was provided under Poor Law/ Relief, perhaps it was rented out to your relatives and the income used by the Union towards funding the Workhouse etc.
