History
The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845 when work was completed on the first phase of buildings, which were probably built by Colonel Ord, the Government Royal Engineer. It was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment; although 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 former Veterinary Hospital is probably contemporary with the earlier barrack buildings.
