Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank, located at No 16 on Corsham High Street, is a house that has been converted into a bank. It dates from the late 17th century and is constructed of rubble stone with a concrete tile roof. The building features a coped south gable and a truncated south stack. It stands two-and-a-half storeys tall and has two coped dormer gables, each with 2-light recessed ovolo-moulded windows and hoodmoulds. The first floor has a similar central window without a hoodmould, while the outer windows are early 19th-century sixteen-pane sashes in flush surrounds. There is a similar sash window on the ground floor to the right, which has been renewed in the 20th century. The right side of the ground floor features a 20th-century tripartite sash window with an 8-16-8 pane configuration. The central door is framed by a 20th-century moulded architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a segmental pediment. The south end wall includes a single light in the attic. At the rear, there is a central projecting gable with a blocked oval window in the gable, a 2-light ovolo-moulded window with a hood on the first floor, and a 20th-century extension on the ground floor. Flanking the centre are first floor 3-light ovolo-moulded windows with hoodmoulds, and the right side has an additional blocked single light.
