Description

Lloyds Bank is a bank building dated 1878, featuring a freestone front on a plinth and a machine tile roof. It has asymmetrical elevations in a Gothic vernacular style and consists of two storeys and an attic. The building showcases mullion windows with two, three, and four lights, which have muscular stop-chamfers at the heads of the mullions, and triangular-head lintels with relieving arches above.

The front has two gables, with the right-hand gable projecting and featuring a bold two-storey bay with a 1:3:1-light arrangement, capped by a stone roof with crocketed corners. There are cornices over the ground floor and below the first-floor windows, which form a panel inscribed with Gothic lettering that reads "Bank County of Gloucester (Limited) Branch."

To the left, there are three bays, with a gable over the central bay that includes narrow attic casements. There is a slight first-floor sill band to the left and a steep Venetian pointed arch to the right, near the right-hand bay, which has nook shafts, foliate caps, a glazed tympanum, and panelled doors with a decorated outer order featuring cock-beading.

A later matching ashlar extension is located to the left, and the building has coursed rubble returns. The rear is in an L-plan configuration, and there are ashlar chimneys with moulded capping and stepped bases. This building is a good example of a Victorian County Bank.
