Free Press of Monmouthshire

The Free Press of Monmouthshire is a series of weekly tabloid newspapers sold in most of the county of Monmouthshire (formerly Gwent), apart from in the south-west around Newport (where, perversely, the group has its offices, although each edition has an office in its own town).

Up until November 2008 there were four editions:

  • Abergavenny Free Press
  • Chepstow Free Press
  • Monmouth Free Press
  • Pontypool Free Press

The Chepstow edition had the largest circulation by some distance, followed by the Pontypool edition, with the Monmouth and Abergavenny editions bringing up the rear on more or less the same numbers.

In November 2008 the two smallest editions were merged with the Chepstow edition into a single Monmouthshire edition called simply The Free Press. The Pontypool Free Press continued in existence.

The group’s part of Newsquest (Wales).

Both editions come out on Wednesdays.
