Cecily Hill Castle
Cecily Hill Castle was built in 1856 and 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.
