Lloyds Bank

Lloyds Bank is a bank building constructed between 1793 and 1803, believed to be designed by Lewis Wyatt, with an extension added to the south in 1897 by T.M. Lockwood. The front is made of yellow ashlar sandstone, while the left side features stone-dressed orange-brown brick. The roof is covered with grey slate and has lead at the hips.

The exterior consists of two storeys and three bays, with an almost symmetrical façade. There is a plinth with three stone steps leading to a projecting central bay. The left bay has double four-panel oak doors under a moulded hood supported by consoles, along with a simple wrought-iron railing. The central bay features four Tuscan three-quarter columns with recessed panels between them, a stone sill above the panels, a substantial six-pane central sash, and a three-pane fixed light on each side. The right bay has a six-pane horned sash.

On the first floor, there is an entablature above the central bay, with a hood over the window in the right bay that matches the one over the doorway. Each side bay has a central five, fifteen, five pane tripartite sash with panelled mullions and a pediment, while the side bays have twelve-pane recessed sashes without sills and recessed panels above. The building is topped with a moulded cornice and a one-course parapet.

The left side of the building features a plinth with a moulded cap, two tripartite two, two, two pane sashes with moulded stone sills, panelled mullions, and entablatures on the ground floor. The first floor has four recessed twelve-pane sashes set in shouldered and eared architraves. The 1897 rear wing is a single-storey structure with stone-dressed openings, including a round window, a three-panel oak door with an overlight, and three unequal nine-pane sashes. The parapet has moulded stone coping.

The main block has two symmetrically placed stone-capped brick chimneys and a moulded stone-dressed chimney at the rear. There are three rear windows in the main block, one of which is a fifteen-pane unequal sash, while the others have been altered. The interior features columns and moulded beams in the banking hall.
