Trustees Savings Bank

The Trustees Savings Bank, built in 1866, is a bank with a lecture room above, located on Front Street in Stanhope. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins. The roof features alternating bands of Lakeland slate and fishscale Welsh slate, topped with stone gable copings. The building is designed in a Gothic style and has a T-plan layout. It stands two storeys tall and consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting.

The entrance features double 8-panel doors beneath three cusped stone overlights and a two-centred relieving arch in the right bay. Above, there are three chamfered stone cusped lancets with sloping sills. The gabled central bay has double boarded doors with elaborate hinges, set beneath blind plate tracery in a two-centred arch with a wide chamfer. Above this are two transomed lancets with a blind quatrefoil under a two-centred head. The left bay contains three ground-floor lancets under a relieving arch and three first-floor lancets. Each gable coping is adorned with a roll-moulded apex.
