Description

No. 14 Market Place is a shop that has been converted into a bank. It dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the early 19th century. The building features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame with a slate roof and stands three stories tall with a gable end facing the road. The ground floor showcases a fine early 19th-century Neo-classical front, which includes three pairs of engaged Roman Doric columns that rise to an entablature adorned with triglyphs, metopes, guttae, and a cornice. There is a 20th-century glass display window and a central door from the 20th century, along with a 19th-century door to the right that has two vertical panels and a plain overlight. Cast-iron grilles are located under the display windows. On the first floor, there are three early 20th-century sash windows with a 2/2 configuration, the central one featuring an open pediment supported by consoles. The architrave is decorated with pargetting. The second floor has three 6/6 sash windows below a pediment, with pendant arches above a string course. The roof is gabled. Inside, there is an open-plan banking hall.
