Yeomanry House, Buckingham

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]
