Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank is a bank building dated 1888, located on Thames Street in Sunbury-on-Thames. It features painted brick construction with a slate roof and tiled ridges, designed in an ornate style. The building is a single storey with a deep plinth, a cornice at the eaves, and a balustraded parapet. The parapet has panelled newels at the ends and spherical finials above a turned baluster balustrade on either side of the center.

The façade includes full-height orders of paired Doric pilasters at the ends and on either side of the center, which support a segmental pediment adorned with a drapery festoon, a central roundel, and a smaller segmental pediment with a scrolled finial above, topped by a crowning urn. Each pair of pilasters rests on pedestal breaks featuring square floral plaques. There is a band of five panels on either side of the center, positioned beneath mullioned and transomed 9-light windows, with two tiers of square lights at the center of each window.

The entrance has glazed 20th-century inner doors and double outer doors set in a moulded brick surround, topped by a dentilled pediment on a scrolled over-door panel. The right-hand side of the building has a chamfered angle with end stops, and a central break under a triangular pediment in the parapet. A roundel window in the parapet is positioned under a keystone and drapery festoon, flanked by piers and scrolls. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear.

Inside, the west room features marble, a bolection architrave, and a moulded cornice. The building is included for its group value only.
