History

The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845. The first phase of buildings, which included this range, was probably built by Colonel Ord, the Government Royal Engineer, and was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment; it was also used by some infantry units and was variously known as Cavalry Barracks and Artillery Barracks, Renamed Raglan Barracks in 1963 when, following conversion, it became home to the Monmouthshire Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Association.

This range originally served as the officer’s mess and included a basement for kitchens; it is one of the three main original ranges. Now occupied by Gwent Army Cadet Force training Centre and the Quartermaster’s Department.

Exterior

Simple Classical style in a similar manner to the main barrack block. 2-storey and basement, symmetrical range built of rock-faced, coursed, red sandstone with freestone dressings including 1st floor sill band, voussoir lintels and a ‘sparrow-picked[ plinth; slate roof with wide boarded eaves and rubble chimney stacks. Unhorned 12-pane sashes; retains shutters internally. 8 4 88 bay design of the front is focused on the pedimented and slightly advanced central section with blind roundel. Boarded doors, with 3-pane overlights, reached by ‘bridges’ over iron-railed basement yards; some basement windows blocked. Pediment treatment repeated on gable ends. Similar rear with central pediment and projecting toilet blocks over porches to rear entrances.
