What is recorded here
Leask (1941, 98-9) recorded that during the reing of Charles II (1660-85) a barracks was 'erected on the ground now occupied by St. Mary's Convent and the schools: the space within the great gap. The French map does not show it, while the map of 1786 in Ferrar's History indicates several regular blocks of buildings call "Barracks, later Brewery" '.
