Description

Lloyds Bank is a bank building dating from around 1920, constructed in Portland stone and designed in a palazzo style. It features a three-storey, five-window front, topped with a large modillin cornice and a balustraded parapet. The slate roof is complemented by tall corniced end stacks. The upper floors have sash windows that are linked vertically, with the outer windows being narrower than the three central ones.

The ground floor is arcaded, with outer doors set in large open-pedimented doorcases. The three central windows have moulded arches, triple keystones, and piers with moulded bases and imposts. The glazing is from the 20th century, and the sills and wall beneath the windows are slightly recessed. The outer doorways feature piers that are enhanced by added panelled sections, which support large scrolled brackets leading to the open pediment. The doors have moulded arches and triple keystones, with 20th-century doors and fanlights.

A heavy moulded cornice runs across at the level of the pediment bases, with the pediments rising to touch the sill course of the first floor. Beneath the three central first-floor windows are sunk panels displaying the name 'Lloyds Bank Limited' in bronze letters. The first floor has outer windows with 10 panes and flat cornices, while the central window has 15 panes and pediments, reaching up to the sills of the upper windows. The upper floor features outer windows with 8 panes and a central window with 12 panes, all within plain moulded architraves.

Inside, there is a bracketed cornice and a panelled ceiling divided into four large panels, with walls that are also divided into panels. The sides have depressed arched heads, and there are arched heads at the rear.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
