History[]
The House was privately owned ever since the Doomsday Survey, until around the time of the War, when it was passed on the Army to be used as a maternity Hospital.[1] 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, and the WRAC [1] before it was handed over for use as a training College for the Cadet Forces in 1957, opening for its first course in 1959.[1] The College has remained with the Cadet Forces ever since.
