Barclay's Bank

Barclay's Bank is a bank building located in Cirencester, dating from the early to mid-18th century. The front is finished in stucco, likely over timber framing, and it features a Welsh slate roof with a rendered stack on the right. The building stands three storeys tall with an attic and has a five-window range.

On the first floor, there are five 6/6-pane sash windows set in moulded timber architraves, with three of these windows on the right side having horns. The second floor mirrors this with five similar windows, again with three on the right side having horns. The ground floor has a late 20th-century limestone ashlar bank frontage that includes plate glass windows above rusticated panels, which are highlighted by pilaster strips and topped with an ashlar frieze. There is a pair of 20th-century doors and an automatic telling machine.

The building also features three dormers with segmental-headed tops covered in lead and 19th or 20th-century two-light timber casements. A plat band runs above the first floor, and there is a coved timber eaves cornice. Additionally, there is a 20th-century wrought-iron hanging sign bracket on the left side of the first floor. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have undergone significant alterations in the 20th century, with exposed timber beams present on the second floor.
