Wellington Barracks - History

History

Wellington Barracks were designed by Sir Francis Smith and Philip Hardwick and opened in 1833. The Guards Chapel was rebuilt in the 1960s after the original chapel was destoyed by a bomb in World War II. On 31 August 2007, Diana, Princess of Wales' two sons, Prince William of Wales and Prince Henry of Wales, organised a memorial service in her honour on the 10th anniversary of her death in the Guards Chapel.
