GV II

Militia barracks armoury and store; now a museum. 1857, by Henry Goddard, County Surveyor; converted, and south west range remodelled, late C20. Brick with stone dressings and hipped slate roofs. Castellated style. PLAN: single-depth, 2-section plan with through archway to a rectangular courtyard. EXTERIOR: east front, 5 bays, has a projecting machicolated centre with a segmental pointed archway and rusticated guard stones, flanked by lower walls, each with 4 crossed rifle slits. Beyond, square corner towers with stepped crenellations. Similar rear elevation. Around the courtyard, single storey buildings with corbelled eaves and similar crenellated corner towers. North and south sides have a central plain opening. INTERIOR: not inspected but reported to have a fireproof construction of jack arches and cast-iron posts. HISTORY: built following the 1852 Militia Reform act as a secure store for the North Lincolnshire Militia, and a pair to that at Grantham for the South Lincs Militia. Intended to provide a defensible base and centre for recruitment to meet the county's quota of militia recruits, and in a consciously historical style to achieve that end. (Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Lincolnshire: London: 1989-: 507).
