History
The House has been privately owned ever since the Domesday Book of 1086 until around the time of the War, when it was passed on to the British Army to be used as a maternity Hospital. Over 100 babies have been delivered in Marlborough Hall.
The House has changed hands within the Army several times; having been used by the Officers' Association (OA), and the former Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC), before it was handed over for use as a training college for the Cadet Forces of the British Armed Forces in 1957, opening for its first course in 1959. The College has remained with the Cadet Forces ever since.
