ARMY BARRACKS AND DEPOTS

LIGONIER SQUARE BARRACKS, DEVONPORT

Updated:  04 January 2011 

Like its companions, Ligonier Square Barracks was one storey high and was commenced in 1757. 

It was situated between Frederick Square Barracks to the north and Cumberland Square Barracks to the south and was occupied by Royal Artillery. 

The name came from John Ligonier (1680-1770), otherwise Jean Louis, field-marshall in the British Army and governor of Plymouth Garrison 1752-60.  He was created Viscount Ligonier in 1757.
