Lloyds Bank

Lloyds Bank is a shop, now a bank, located on Silver Street in Ilminster. It was built around 1800 and underwent alterations in 1939 and 1950. The building is constructed of Ham Hill stone ashlar and features a slate roof that is hipped to the southeast corner and gabled on the sides. It has three storeys and a six-window range, with three windows facing south and three facing east, all featuring 8/8-pane sash windows on the upper floors.

The ground floor showcases banded rustication beneath a moulded dentilled cornice that displays the bank's name. At the corner, there is a slightly stepped-forward canted bay that includes a carved roundel with the bank emblem above a doorcase with a pediment from 1939. The south facade on Silver Street has a three-window range with 6/6-pane horned sashes. The right side of this range is flanked by pilasters, while the left side is actually a chimney stack. A moulded cornice runs across both facades, along with a granite plinth added around 1950. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, a 19th-century photograph indicates that the shop was once called London House and served as a barber and saddler among other businesses.
