The original 'Old' Armoury was built in 1802 as a military store to support troup stationed on Danbury Common at a time when an invasion by Napoleon was thought possible. The original Armoury was destroyed by fire in 1996; this replica building is now used as a base for the National Trust Warden (Chelmsford District).
