It is a Grade II listed building.[1] HistoryThe house was built to a timber-frame design and completed in 1679.[2] It has an unusual tower with a pyramid roof.[3] It became a training facility for "friendless girls in moral danger" in 1872[4] and went on to become the headquarters of the Shropshire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry in the late 19th century.[5] This unit evolved to become the Shropshire Imperial Yeomanry in 1901 and the Shropshire Yeomanry in 1908.[5] By the early 20th century the Divisional Troops of the Royal Artillery and the offices of the Shropshire Territorial Force Association were also based in the building.[6][7] The Shropshire Yeomanry was mobilised at Kingston House in August 1914 before being deployed to Egypt.[8] After the war the house was decommissioned and converted for commercial use: it is now occupied by a firm of solicitors.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254773-6-st-alkmonds-place-see-details-for-further-address-information-shrewsbury#.Wj7drmhl8dU|title=6, St Alkmond's Place|publisher=British listed buildings|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://etheses.bham.ac.uk/5658/2/Smith1953MA_Vol1_Part2.pdf|page=385|title=The medieval town house|publisher=University of Birmingham|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Shropshire|first= Nikolaus|last= Pevsner|page=281|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0140710168|year=1993}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/list/MH10.shtml|title=Magdalen Homes|publisher=Children's homes|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023104348/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vcav/shrops.htm|title=Shropshire Yeomanry|publisher=Regiments.org|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.drillhalls.org/Counties/Shropshire/TownShrewsbury.htm|title=Shrewsbury|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shropshireremembers.org.uk/extract-shrewsbury-chronicle/|title=National Reserves Wanted|publisher=Shrewsbury Chronicle|date=26 February 1915|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-yeomanry-regiments-of-1914-1918/shropshire-yeomanry/|title=Shropshire Yeomanry|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.originalshrewsbury.co.uk/visit/clarkes-solicitors|title=About|publisher=Clarks Solicitors|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 3 : Drill halls in England|Buildings and structures in Shrewsbury|Grade II listed buildings in Shropshire |
