The Woolwich Rotunda. Designed by John Nash in 1814 for the Prince Regent's victory fête at Carlton House. Moved to Woolwich Common in 1818-1820. Royal Artillery Museum 1820-2001. Closed since. We're working to bring it back. @BBCSport @HistoricEngland

The Rotunda housed the Royal Artillery's collection for 181 years. Today's marathon passes it at mile 3, and passes @KingsTroopRHA next door. @royalartillery1

The runners are passing the building at mile 3 right now. We're working to acquire it from the MOD and return it to public use after 25 years closed.

@BBCSport @HistoricEngland @rotundatrust Aerial shots at mile 3 today: dead centre is this. The Woolwich Rotunda. John Nash, 1814. Runners passing both sides. Only surviving tent pavilion of its kind.

@BBCSport @paulajradcliffe @rotundatrust Marathon symmetry: at mile 3 runners pass the Rotunda on Woolwich Common. They finish on The Mall, near where Nash built it in 1814 for the Prince Regent's victory fête. The pavilion did its own marathon. Carlton House to Woolwich in 1820

Fantastic news that the National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded a grant to the Royal Artillery Museum for its 'Guns On The Plain' project, which aims to bring together military, veterans and civilians at a dynamic, accessible and sustainable museum at Larkhill, in Wiltshire, home of the Royal Artillery.
We have more than 300 years of battle-hardened history - and so much of what has gone before, has shaped us into the modern fighting force we are today.
We are proud of that legacy.

For Sale

The Woolwich Rotunda is being sold by the Ministry of Defence.

The grade ll* listed building is on the English Heritage at-risk list due to its deteriorating condition.

For many years it was the Royal Artillery Museum.

Structural issues and conservation challenges have meant that both the building and its landscape have been on our Heritage at Risk Register for some time.

The rockets his ancestor fired were Congreve rockets. Woolwich Arsenal, 1804. Copenhagen, Leipzig, Baltimore, Waterloo. The "rockets' red glare" is literally these weapons.
The building where they were kept is still standing. Just. Grade II* listed. Heritage at Risk since 2007.
