The Keep refers to a building on the former Le Marchant Barracks site, originally constructed in the late 18th century and later restored and converted into apartments in the early 21st century by Gaiger Bros. The barracks were built in 1878, named after Sir John Gaspard Le Marchant, and served as the depot for the Wiltshire Regiment until the 1960s, later housing World War II prisoners of war. The Keep building itself housed a guard room, detention cells, and a fire engine garage before its conversion.Military Use: The barracks became the depot for the 62nd (Wiltshire) Regiment and the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment, and later the depot for the amalgamated Wiltshire Regiment. World Wars: During World War I, the barracks served as a processing and call-up centre for soldiers and reservists. In World War II, a part of the site was a prisoner of war camp for German and Italian personnel, where the Devizes Plot to stage a mass escape and attack London was hatched. Post-Military Use: The barr
