National Westminster Bank

The National Westminster Bank, built in 1864 by F Chancellor, features an ornate 'High Victorian' classical facade with a symmetrical design. The building stands three storeys high and has five windows. It is constructed of yellow brick with Bath stone dressings. The parapet is topped with a large moulded cornice that includes dentils and is supported by bold carved brackets. The second-floor openings have architraves with cambered heads and cills that extend as projections on brackets, forming a weathered band. Above the square heads of the second-floor openings, there are arched panels supported by Corinthian caps above plain pilasters. The first floor has a moulded band with dentils and Corinthian pilasters framing the plain openings, which feature keystones and are situated above a plinth with moulded panels below the cills. The windows are Victorian sashes, and tall chimneys rise above the parapet cornice.
