Former Midland Bank

The former Midland Bank is a bank building made up of two separate structures, dating from the 16th and 18th centuries. It has two storeys and attics. The earlier section features a red brick facade with a timber-framed core and a plaintiled roof, topped with a dentil cornice. It has one window on each storey: a small-paned sash window on the ground floor and mullion-and-transom leaded-paned casements on the upper floor, along with a dormer. The entrance includes a six-panelled door with raised fielded panels and an entablature. Inside, there is an exposed timber ceiling on the upper floor and remnants of a clasped purlin roof with windbraces. At the back, there is a long 17th-century two-storey timber-framed wing. The later part of the building is constructed in red brick, featuring a plaintiled roof and a coved cornice. This section has five windows, which are small-paned sashes in flush frames with flat arches. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with raised fielded panels, a rectangular fanlight, panelled linings, pilasters, and a triangular pediment.
