National Westminster Bank

This building is a house, now a bank, dating from the late 18th century. It was altered in the mid-19th century with rustication to the ground floor and again in the 20th century to the interior. The main part of the building has a rendered brick plinth and a rendered, chamfered rustication on brick to the ground floor, with red brick above. The roof is not visible. It is of three storeys and five window bays. There are six-panel doors with fanlights to the left and right of the facade. Four 20th-century windows now occupy the original arcaded openings in the centre. All ground floor openings have keystones. A cornice is present between the ground and first floors. The first floor has 12-pane unhorned sashes with cambered brick heads, while the second floor has 9-pane unhorned sashes with cambered brick heads. The building is finished with a painted moulded cornice and a plain brick parapet to the eaves. The interior ground floor is now a 20th-century banking hall.

To the right of the main building is an early 19th-century addition with mid-19th-century rustication to the ground floor. It has a rendered brick plinth, rendered chamfered rustication to the ground floor, grey brick with red brick dressings and a roof that is not visible. The addition is of three storeys and one window bay. A six-panel door with a fanlight is located to the left. Two 20th-century windows occupy the original arcaded openings to the centre and right. The first and second floors have tripartite sashes in cambered brick heads, and a flat brick band separates the first and second floors. The addition’s roof is finished with a brick cornice and parapet. The group value of this building is enhanced by its presence in Wallingford High Street, with a connection to the Lamb Arcade.
