National Westminster Bank, 2, Market Street, Crewkerne - Somerset Council (UA)

This handsome and distinguished grade II* neo-classical building was built in 1838 for the Stuckey Banking Company and is one of the earliest purpose built bank buildings in England. It was sold at auction by Natwest in 2019 and a fire in 2021 severely damaged the building, putting its survival at risk.
