ARMY BARRACKS AND DEPOTS

MARLBOROUGH SQUARE BARRACKS, DEVONPORT

Updated:  04 January 2011 

Marlborough Square Barracks was the most northerly of the group of single-storey Squares built in 1757 within "The Lines" at Plymouth Dock.  It was occupied by the infantry.

It was named in honour of John Churchill (1650-1722), who was created Earl of Marlborough 1689.

The Barracks was demolished between 1824 and 1830 and replaced in due course by New Granby Barracks.
