Summary
The Prince of Wales Royal Regimental Museum (Southern building) which is located on the northern side of the inner bailey, to the west of Arthurs Hall was constructed in the 1740s as accommodation for enlisted men within the barracks, as a response to a perceived threat to Britain from the continent. It is believed that the builsing was constructed over the ruinous medieval 'King's Chambers' which documentary sources suggest was located in this location.
