History

The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845 when work was complete on the first phase of buildings which were probably by Colonel Ord, the Government Royal Engineer. It was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment, although 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.

Monmouth House is stylistically later than those buildings of the first phase and therefore is likely to be later C19 but built before 1882 as it is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.

Exterior

Symmetrical 2 storey, 5 bay front of freely sneaked rubble masonry with plinth and freestone dressings; slate roof with wide boarded eaves and stone end chimney stacks. Renewed 12 pane sashes with ground floor relieving arches; 4 panel door with deep overlight. Linked to Raglan House at right by rubble boundary wall.
