Built in
1856 Cecily Hill Castle was first known as the Barracks and was built for
military purposes. It then became the base for the 4th
Battalion of the Gloucester Regiment. During the Second World War it was
used by the Home Guard. It is currently the centre for Cirencester College
Business School running vocational and professional programmes. The
Barracks or ‘Castle’ has very distinctive architecture which does
indeed match up to its ‘castle’ name. It has many original features
still in place and a fine history to tell.
