Budbrooke Barracks was a military installation near Budbrooke in Warwickshire, England.
History
The barracks were established as the depot of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in 1877.[1] Their creation took place as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces.[2] St Michael's Church became the battalion church at that time.[3] Many recruits enlisted at the barracks at the start of the First World War.[4]
The barracks were demoted to the status of out-station to the Forester Brigade depot at Glen Parva Barracks in 1958,[5] the last recruits were accepted in March 1960 and the barracks closed later that year.[6] The site has since been developed as the village of Hampton Magna.[1]
