Description

Lloyds Bank is an example of Edwardian classicism, featuring three storeys and an attic with a five-bay facade. The building is constructed from Portland stone and has a slate roof with tall gable end stacks. The outer bays are advanced and banded, showcasing giant Corinthian half-columns that frame the recessed central bays. A bracket cornice supports a balustraded and panelled parapet, which is echoed over the ground floor. The facade includes moulded architraves and swagged aprons that connect the outer storeys, while the central first-floor windows are adorned with pediments featuring cherub panels. The ground floor is rusticated, with cavetto-arched openings and keyblocks, and retains its original tripartite glazing with radiating fanlights, along with double doors positioned to the left.

Local climate

Lloyds Bank sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
