History

The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845 when work was complete on the first phase of buildings. It was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment, although was also sued 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.

The Gymnasium is late C19 - not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, although the site is outlined.
