Stonehouse Barracks

Stonehouse Barracks is a military installation at Stonehouse, Plymouth. It is the home of 3 Commando Brigade.

History
The earliest parts of Stonehouse Barracks date from 1756, with further additions of the 1790s and 1800s. They immediately became the headquarters of the Plymouth Division of the Royal Marines. They are described as 'the oldest and most important barracks in England not forming part of a fortification, a very rare example of 18th century planning, and a complete complex of great historic value'. Although the divisional structure of the Royal Marines was dismantled during the Second World War, the barracks remain in use as headquarters of 3 Commando Brigade.
