Besley's 1913 Exeter Streets Directory gives '4th Wessex 1st Battery R.F.A. Drill Hall, 24 Friars' Walk.'

'The Artillery barracks, in the Topsham road, are built of brick and form a large square, with officers' quarters facing the entrance gates, quarters for the men, and stables on either side; adjoining the entrance gates are various offices, mess room &c.' Kelly, 1914

Kelly, 1914, states that, 'The Drill Hall, in Bedford circus, was erected in 1892 on the site of the old theatre, at a cost, including the site, of about £4000, and is a structure of brick, the hall being 100 feet ling by 45 feet wide, and having a balcony capable of seating 200 persons; on the first floor are recreation rooms and canteen, and in the basement is an armoury, holding 300 stand of arms, a store room and a Morris tube range; on the first floor are meeting rooms for officers and sergeants, and on the third floor is a band practice room. Adjoining the hall are quarters for the sergeant-major.'

The drill hall was on the south west side of Bedford Circus. It was the Home Guard Headquarters in the Second World War and took a direct hit from bombing in 1942.

According to the Exetermemories website, one of the uses of the Victoria Hall on Queen street was as a drill hall for the 1st Devonshire Rifles. The building burned down in 1919.

Kelly, 1914, records, '7th (Cyclist) Battalion Devonshire Regiment, head quarters [plus B & C Cos.], Leighton terrace, York road.' Previously this is listed in the Post Office Directory of Exeter and Suburbs 1912: 'Drill hall, 10 Longbrook street.'

Exeter City Council lists the Priory Drill Hall (Eastgate / Colleton Crescent) as a Grade II Listed Building. [Riverside Court (Priory Drill Hall); Wall and fence of Riverside Court]
