Description
The Midland Bank in Milton-under-Wychwood is an 18th-century house that has been altered. It features rubble construction in two parts, with the right-hand wing having a freestone front and very large quoins. There is an ashlar end stack on the right with a cornice, and a 20th-century imitation stone chimney on the left. The building is L-shaped, with the left-hand block being an 18th-century house that has its gable end facing the road, while the right-hand extension is likely from the late 18th century.
The structure is two stories tall and has a two-window range on the right, with glazing bar sashes that have timber lintels concealed by a fascia with incised keys. The ground floor shop front may have originally been a butcher's shop, featuring outer bays with a common shelter supported by scroll-wood brackets and half-glazed doors. The gable end on the left has a blind roundel.
Additionally, there is a late 19th-century Mission Room that is positioned at right angles to the left side of the building. This room has a niche in its gable that contains a 15th-century wooden sculpture of a trumpet-playing clergyman, which is said to have come from the former parish church.
