Yeomanry House is a former military headquarters in Buckingham. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The building, which has a dull pink render, was built in the early 19th century as the offices and home of the commanding officer of the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry.[1] The men of the regiment were accommodated at a depot and storehouse in West Street which was completed in 1802.[2] The regiment was mobilised in Buckingham in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and, ultimately, to the Western Front.[3]
After the First World War the regimental headquarters moved to Aylesbury[4] and, by the 1960s, the Hunter Street area became very dilapidated.[5] Yeomanry House was acquired by the University College at Buckingham in 1974[5] and, following extensive refurbishment work in the early 1980s,[6] now serves as the main reception building[7] and registered office of the University of Buckingham.[8]
