Former hospital. Mid C18, built by the Ordnance Board.
Plymouth limestone rubble with limestone dressings, all
rendered except for the centre and right of the ground floor
at the front and the mid-floor band. Rectangular plan.
EXTERIOR: symmetrical 5-window front. Late C19 or C20 horned
sashes with glazing bars, in openings spanned by keyed arches
(where visible). Central flat-roofed porch has doorway on its
left and slit window on its right.
INTERIOR: not inspected, but known to have been remodelled
late C20.
HISTORY: one of the oldest surviving military hospitals, with
that at Berwick-on-Tweed. Staffed by civilians, permanent
barracks hospitals were not generally available until the
Napoleonic Wars. With the contemporary buildings, this forms
part of the best C17 fort in England.
