A purpose-built banking house for the Tavistock Bank. The bank was founded in 1791, but the internal details would rather support a date in the first quarter of the 19th century. There has been considerable alteration to the ground floor, but the upper floor appears to preserve much of the domestic accommodation of the original building.
