Description
The Guard House, also known as Building 65, is located at Jellalabad Barracks in Tidworth and dates from around 1905. It is constructed of English bond brick with rubbed brick dressings, with the ground floor painted and a late 20th-century concrete tile roof. The building has a double-depth plan.
The exterior features two storeys and a seven-window range. The ground floor has a blind left-hand side and four windows to the right, along with two doorways that are sheltered by a verandah supported by iron columns. The first floor has wide segmental-arched windows, all of which are covered by grills. There is a single-storey, four-bay northern range and a one-bay southern range, with later additions at the rear.
Inside, there are rear cells and a square exercise yard, as well as a dormitory on the right-hand side.
Historically, Tidworth was established after the Army purchased Salisbury Plain for large-scale training manoeuvres, and the guard house is part of a complete battalion unit within Tidworth Barracks.
