GV II
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.
