Budbrooke Barracks was a military installation near Budbrooke in Warwickshire, England.
The barracks were built on agricultural land in 1877. [1] Their creation took place as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces. [2] The barracks became the depot for the two battalions of the 6th (1st Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot. [3] Following the Childers Reforms, the regiment evolved to become the Royal Warwickshire Regiment with its depot in the barracks in 1881. [3]
St Michael's Church became the battalion church at that time. [4] Many recruits enlisted at the barracks at the start of the First World War. [5] The barracks were demoted to the status of out-station to the Forester Brigade depot at Glen Parva Barracks in 1958, [6] the last recruits were accepted in March 1960 and the barracks closed later that year. [7] The site has since been developed as the village of Hampton Magna. [1]
