National Westminster Bank

The National Westminster Bank, located at 77 High Street in Godalming, is a house that has been converted into a bank. It likely dates from the late 16th century and has undergone alterations, particularly for its conversion to a bank in the mid-20th century and later. The building features a timber frame with pebble-dashed infill and some 20th-century rubblestone. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys tall with an attic.

The ground floor, which was altered in the 20th century, has timber framing set on a stone plinth. To the left, there is a five-light, small-pane, mullion and transom window, and to the right, a door with a small-pane, two-light overlight, accompanied by a similar window to its left. The cross-wing on the first floor has a jetty supported by corbels and a bressummer, also from the 20th century. The first floor features close-studded timber framing with decorative arch braces.

The cross-wing includes an old canted bay window on brackets, which has three leaded lights at the front, with the central light featuring an old iron casement. In the attic, there is an old two-light leaded window, with the left light being narrower and having a casement. The gable has decorative fretted bargeboards and a pendant finial. The right bay has a 20th-century two-light leaded casement on the first floor and an old gabled dormer with diamond leading in the attic. The building has end stacks with diagonally-set flues, with four flues on the left stack and two on the right.

At the rear, there are extensive additions from the late 20th century that are not of special interest. Inside, very little of the original building is visible, except on the right-hand side in the attic, where wall posts, one arched tension brace, and a queen-post truss can be seen. There is also a closed-string stair between the first floor and attic, featuring diamond-section balusters.
