Description
The little Town Hall (1761) in Marygate today houses the town museum. The parish church of Holy Trinity, designed in 1652 by the London architect John Young of Blackfriars, has elaborate Venetian windows. The buildings of the "Barracks" were constructed in 1717-21 for 600 men and 36 officers and thereby have the distinction of being the oldest garrison in England. Today they house three museums: a regimental museum, the English Heritage military museum and an art gallery which is attached to the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.
