The NatWest branch is at 16 Market Place, in a building which has been a bank since 1862, when the National Provincial Bank of England opened an office here, as an agency to the bank's Dursley branch. The building had been a town house, built earlier in the century, which the bank leased from Lord Fitzhardinge. In 1968 National Provincial Bank and Westminster Bank (along with National Provincial's subsidiary District Bank) announced their intention to merge. They began to trade as National Westminster Bank from January 1st 1970. NatWest is the name currently displayed on National Westminster Bank plc branches.
