bead, and fret design.
24. First-floor, Area 5. Western rooms, featuring modern decoration, fixtures, and fittings.
25. First-floor, Area 5. Western rooms. Southern most room features two timber framed sash windows. Due to
its placement, the northern party wall would appear to have been a later addition. This is suggested due to
its placement between the symmetrically placed windows, in the southern and northern rooms.
26. First-floor, Area 5. North western room. Western wall features timber framed sash window within a box
panelled recess, with a decorative moulded architrave frame. Window is the third in a sequence along the
western elevation between the two rooms
27. First-floor, Area 5. North western room. The southern wall is possibly a later addition party wall, due to its
placement against the western elevations symmetrically placed sash windows. This is further evidenced by
the missing section of door frame in one of the entrances/exits between the southern and northern rooms.

Introduction
This Building Survey report has been prepared by Adam Phillips, A.P.A.C. Ltd, for works - Re: Proposed new
internal platform lift, steps and associated works including the removal of the external entrance steps and
modifications to the main entrance door; Pl.App.No.: DM/2020/00027.
The proposed works/modifications are to a grade II listed building; CADW, Ref: 2289 - Lloyds TSB, a bank in
Monmouth. The site also sits within the Monmouth conservation area, and as such, a pre planning application for a
Desk Based Assessment was required before any other works could commence, DM/2018/01134.
APAC Ltd, conducted the relevant Desk Based Assessment; DK/LBM/19, which concluded that ‘There is a
potential for some archaeological resources to be disturbed but their current survival is not known therefore any
impact is difficult to predict’.
As a result of the pre-planning application, Monmouthshire County Council, (MCC), recommended Historic
environment mitigation, in the form of conditions to the approved works.
Condition 3
No works to which this consent relates shall commence until an appropriate programme of
historic building recording and analysis has been secured and implemented in accordance
with a written scheme of investigation which has been submitted to and approved in writing
by the Local Planning Authority.
REASON: As the building is of architectural and cultural significance the specified records
are required to mitigate impact.
Condition 4
No development shall take place until the applicant, or their agents or successors in title, has
secured agreement for a written scheme of historic environment mitigation which has been
submitted by the applicant and approved by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter, the
programme of work shall be fully carried out in accordance with the requirements and
standards of the written scheme.
REASON: To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during
the works, in order to mitigate the impact of the works on the archaeological resource.
DM/2020/00027
APAC Ltd was contracted by the client, to undertake the programme of archaeological recording work and in
accordance with the suggested model drew up a Written Scheme of Investigation, WSI:BSWB/LBM/20. Which
was compiled using information collected in the previous Desk Based Assessment, DK/LBM/19.
The written scheme of investigation was approved by the “MCC” as ‘fit for purpose’ allowing the survey work
to proceed.
This report is based on the Building Recording survey only. A further report to show the results of the watching
brief will follow when the works have been completed.
Site location
The location of the site is central to the town of Monmouth on the main street and just south west of the town hall at
Agincourt Square; National Grid Coordinate is 350701, 212778, fig 01.

Brief archaeological and historical background
The archaeological record for the Monmouth area is well represented from prehistory to present; indeed, a 5km
diameter search centred on the town would yield archaeological resources from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman,
Early Medieval, Medieval, Norman, Post medieval and even Modern WWII.
The site, as mentioned above is the Grade II listed building of; No 18, Lloyds TSB Bank, CADW, Ref: 2289. The
building itself is thought to have been built by P M Hardwick, in the late 18th century, and is listed for its “special
architectural interest as an important late C18 house with historic connections in the Monmouth town centre”. Ibid.
For a more in-depth history, including cartographic interpretation and Historic Environment record, please refer to
the previous pre-planning, Desk Based Assessment, DK/LBM/19, APAC LTD.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the Level II survey is to preserve, by photographic and written record, the structure of the building, prior
to conversion, and in doing so provide a facility for understanding the building’s historic development.
The record produced can then be used as a permanent archive, detailing the building as it once was.
Methodology
The building recording survey followed the methodology defined in 5.2, Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide
to Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2016). The methodology employed was also guided by the Standard
and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (CIFA
2014,).
Measurements were taken of the structure, internally, using a tripod mounted, FARO M70 3D Scanner.
Photographs were taken using a tripod mounted, digital camera: Cannon EOS 6D Mark II. These were backed up
with hi- resolution smart phone cameras.
Images were recorded in both high-resolution Jpeg & RAW formats.
The photographic record of the site includes general views of the exterior, the overall appearance of principle
structure and circulation areas, external and internal, and detail relevant to the property’s design and development.
All photographs include a scale rod where possible or practical.
Photographs illustrative of the survey are produced as annotated ‘Plates (PL)’ in the report.
All photographs from the survey are included as a list with contact sheets in appendix I.
This report comprises a “brief” written element as defined in 4.5.1 Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide to
Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2016).
In order to provide a brief background to the property the following sources of information were used:
Various online sources.

Data Presentation
The survey was undertaken on Wednesday 18th November, in favourable conditions.
The survey consists of photographic evidence of the buildings current external and internal structure where possible.
Plans for the basement; Fig 03a, ground Fig 03b, and first floor, Fig 03c were provided by the “LLOYDS
BANKING GROUP” and then adapted for use in this report.
Measurements were taken of the second floor and attic, internally, using a tripod mounted, FARO M70 3D Scanner.
The scanned data was then processed in Scene 2019, converted to CAD format point cloud data in Autocad Recap,
and then interrogated in Pointscence Heritage in order to produce plans correct to ± 5mm.
The plans were then adapted for use in this report. Second floor, Fig 03d, and attic, Fig 03e. The Faro scan data was
also used to provide figures detailing a cross section, orthogonal, top down, and isometric view of the attic. Fig 04a-
d.
These floor plans were then annotated further, with sections of each floor plan being given a designated numbered
Area, to help in navigation of this report.
External.
Externally the building is built between to adjacent properties to the north and south, and as such neither north nor
south elevations are visible.
The front western elevation of the bank is built along the east side of the main high street (Monnow Street), through
Monmouth. The road is built on an incline towards the north of Monmouth town. The building’s western elevation
acts as the main entrance to the bank and as a façade facing the street, PL01. The building front is made of brick
with a lower level string course of cement, painted black. The lower level also features a projected shelf, topped
with iron railings and modern concrete steps into the bank. The whole projected section would appear to be a later
instalment, what with it being constructed with modern materials and clearly not tied to the fabric of the building,
PL02. The front façade of the building also features eight sash windows, symmetrically placed, in usual Georgian
style. The top (second) floor of windows consist of three timber framed sash windows with 9x9 glass panes. The
windows also feature decorative timber frames. The central (first) floor features three timber framed sash windows
with 3x4 glass pains, PL03. These windows also feature decorative frames and are topped with decorative
crossheads, with the central window featuring a pediment. The three windows also sit on top a decorative string
course. The ground floor features two single sash windows that are set within a modern frame with frosted glass.
These two windows appear to be modern, probably changed at some point for bank security, PL01. The main
entrance to the building features a modern timber door set within a large decorative timber door frame, PL04. The
door frame features decorative architrave and is topped with a decorated Crosshead. The door frame also features a
decorative fanlight situated above the doors Crosshead. The ground floor level features a decorative string course
that spans the front, with the course being domed over the front entrance and windows frames, PL01. The top of the
building features a projected cornice with dentil decoration. The projection hides the roof structure and a small
central dormer window from ground level, PL05. (see attic, below).
The eastern elevation exits from the ground floor into what presumably was once the buildings garden, PL06. These
gardens in turn access the entrance to 19th century. Nelson Gardens, PL07. The elevation features much the same as
the western façade, albeit with simplified decoration. The building features a string course at its uppermost level,
though not decorative. The upper, (second) and central (first) floors feature timber framed sash windows,
symmetrically placed as with the front façade. However, these windows do not feature the same degree of
decoration, with only a stone sill and brick domed lintel with central keystones. The central (first floor) windows are
also fitted with metal bars, PL06. The northern side of the elevation features a two-storey brick extension that
extends to the east, PL08. This addition is fitted with a mix of sash and modern windows, fire doors and external
metal staircase. The southern wall of this extension also features a section of wall that holds a small square window,
off-centred, underneath a decorative timber framed fan light. The fan light is set within a semi-circular arch of brick
on top of two projected brick pillars. The whole window section does not appear to tie well together which would
suggest the possibility of an earlier access into the bank, PL09. The southern side of the eastern elevation also
features a small, flat topped single storey extension that enters into a small room; (Area 4). before entering the banks
ground floor to the north. The entrance is fitted with two large windows that sit either side a central glass doorway,
which in itself is topped with a transom window. The entirety of the windows and doors are set with in an ashlar
8
frame, a decoration not in keeping with the rest of the building. The entrance also features external stone steps.,
PL08.
Internal.
Internally the bank consists of five floors, including the basement and attic.
The cellar: Area 1, is accessed via the ground floor, Area 3, via a modern staircase, PL10. The cellar consists of two
access corridors, two strong rooms and an area to the south that holds a boiler and equipment. The two strong rooms
are built with re-enforced concrete block walls, concrete floors, and re-enforced concrete ceilings, PL11. The rooms
also feature re-enforced pillars and beams. The boiler room to the southwest differs from that of the rest of the floor
in that the room is partially built in brick and partially, PL12, (the further west), built of random coursed stone with
limestone mortar, PL13. This is the only occurrence of the banks structure differing from brick to stone and due to
its depth below the ground level, and being an external wall, it is arguably the remnants of an earlier building phase.
The Ground floor acts of the main lobby and working area of the bank, PL14. The entrance is found in the western
elevation, this leads to a small cashpoint/ATM area, before entering the main lobby of the bank, Area 2. The main
lobby is fitted with modern fixtures and fittings, with modern partition walls also put in place to create private
conference rooms/offices. To the south is the main cashiers access points/screens and a small room situated behind
the external cashpoint, (see above). Though the majority of the bank is heavily modernised, some earlier decoration
is clearly visible. Some of the north of Area 2 has had it ceilings dropped, however where the earlier ceiling is
exposed a clear course of corniced decoration lines the boundary of the ceiling. PL15. The cornice is decorated with
three layers of Waterleaf, over Dentil, over a possible variation of Acanthus leaf. The course of the border extends
from the main lobby, PL14, to behind the cashier points, PL15, before entering into the small room behind the
ATM, then returning back into the Main lobby, PL16. Incidentally, the cashpoint/ATM area, external to the main
lobby also features the same decorated cornice work that spans the small square ceiling above it, PL17. There are
also two decorative stilted arch framed recesses found in the southern wall. One is set behind the cashiers, PL18,
with the other in the small room behind the ATM/Cashpoint, PL19. Both arches feature the same decoration, pillars
with Guilloche, flower, and bead. Pillar tops featuring acanthus leaf frieze’s and arches decorated with rib and bead
decoration. Area 3 acts as the main office area; PL20, bank vault, (not photographed for security purposes) and toilet
block. This area is all modernised with the exception of two semi-circular fanlight/windows placed in the northern
elevation. Area 3 also leads to Area 4 to the south east; Area 4 consists of a small porch like area that opens into the
gardens in the east, PL21. The area features decorative Dentil cornices which do not appear to follow the same
course. The main door entrance/exit is framed internally with a decorative timber architrave, with a
doorhead/crosshead set with Waterleaf, Dentil, Bead and Fret decoration, PL22 & PL23.
The first floor can be reached either via a modern staircase to the north of Area 2, or a modern spiral staircase to the
south of Area 3, Ground floor. The first floor consists of modernised bank offices, PL24 and staff facilities. Area 5
consists of two main rooms and multiple corridors between areas. The southernmost room features two of the front
façade sash windows set within timber box panelled surrounds, PL25, with the third window situated with the
northern room, PL26. The position of the wall that separates the two rooms against the positions of the windows
would suggest the party wall to be a later addition to what was probably once an open planned room, PL25. This can
be further evidenced by the missing section of door in the partition wall, PL27. Both rooms also feature a centrally
placed chimney stack projection, with the northern room’s fireplace being blocked off; PL28, and the southern
rooms chimney featuring a decorative fireplace, mantle, and hearth, though possibly a later addition, PL29. Both
rooms also feature decoration in the form of corniced borders, PL30, though not heavily decorated like those found
on the first floor. The corridor between the two areas, feature many modern timber fire doors set within modern
timber frames, however one of the main doors is set within arch recess, which retains a small amount of decorative
rib architrave, PL31. The corridor between the two areas also feature a modern staircase north to the ground floor, a
stairwell up to the second floor, and a room to the south that holds the modern spiral staircase to the ground floor.
The spiral staircase room is again heavily modernised however still retains one timber framed sash window to the
south, PL32. Area 6 comprises of a main corridor, staff room, access to toilet block and toilet block. The staff room
features many fixtures, fitting and appliances expected in a modern kitchen/staffroom, PL33. The southern wall
holds a central chimney, with blocked up fireplace, PL34. The eastern elevation features two timber framed sash
windows set with box framed recesses, PL35. The recesses are fitted with faux shutters, possibly once real. The
corridor between the rooms features two semi-circular arched windows within the northern wall, which are fitted
with iron bars set the same way as the windows frames, PL36. The south of the corridor leads to the south eastern
two-storey extension. The corridor and toilet block appear to be heavily modernised, more likely a later addition,
PL37. As mentioned above the corridor between areas also leads to a large stairwell between first and second floors.
The large stairwell features two half turn landings, PL38. Though possibly modelled on an earlier staircase, the
stairs currently feature modern linoleum steps with metal runners. The lower level of the staircase, along the
9
southern wall is built with a steep incline to just below the stair’s half landing, PL39, there appears no particular
reasoning for this, possibly the stairwell is part built over the neighbouring property. The stairwell also features a
large central timber framed sash window in the southern wall above the stair’s half landing., PL40.
The second floor, Areas 7 and 8, feature large expansive rooms, set much in the same orientation as the floor below,
however devoid of almost any decoration. The western rooms in Area 7 feature two centrally placed chimney stacks
with blocked in fireplaces, both continuations from the floors below, PL41 & PL42. The western wall of both the
rooms feature symmetrically placed timber framed sash windows, PL43 & PL44, however only the window in the
northern room features a box framed recess, PL44, suggesting the other two windows in the south room had box
panelling which had been removed. Area 7 also featured a small room with a single window, PL45. The corridor
between Area’s 7 and 8 feature three semi-circular arched timber framed windows, sunk within semi-circular
arches, PL46 & PL47. The rooms in Area 8 consist of a oddly shaped maintenance room, with single timber framed
sash window, PL48, a small room to the north, and a large room to the south. The larger southern room features a
centrally placed chimney stack, PL49, continued from floor below, and two timber framed sash windows in the
southern wall, PL50. There is also a small room to the north of this which holds the third sash window along the
southern elevation, PL51.
The Attic is accessed via Area 7, second floor, via a small room to the south, PL52. The small room holds a timber
ladder leading to a hatch in the ceiling which opens into Area 9, PL53.
The attic and roof is set in two different orientations: Fig 04a-d, Area 9 and Area 10. The western section of the
building, Area 9, features two hipped roofs, orientated south west to north east. The two roofs sit on top a single box
framed truss that spans beneath the two called a “M Truss” and a typical Georgian construction. The truss is made
up of a timber beam with a central King post and bracers and shared collar, Fig 04a, PL54 & PL55. The apexes of
the hipped roofs are set individually with rafters, purlins, and central purlins, PL56. Area 9 also feature a central
dormer window, not seen externally, PL57, due to the balustrade at the roof line. Area 10, attic space is a
continuation from Area 9; Fig 04, b, c, and d. however orientated north west to south east, built upon the back of the
easternmost hipped roofs. This roof ends in a Gambrel style to the south east, PL58. The roof trusses in Area 10 are
compiled of a timber tie beam, with King posts, and raked braces, underneath a collar and Queen post, with a central
purlin, PL59. The truss and purlins are fitted with morticed and tenon, wooden pegged joists, PL60. The beams have
also been secured with metal straps and bolts, PL61. The rest of Area 10 features timber rafters and purlins with a
few of the purlins featuring fish plates repairs, PL62. The southern Gambrel end roof also features a central dormer
window not seen externally, PL63, also hidden behind the external balustrade.
Interpretation
The Building consists of a well-represented Georgian structure with, later addition and extensions to the south east.
The external front of the building has had a few modifications over time with the most notable being changes to the
lower level windows, door and the projected shelf. The proposed modifications will take into effect changes to the
entrance, steps, and modern fire door, and due to them being modern in nature shouldn’t have to much affect on the
buildings historical nature, However, advisement should be taken in regards to the main entrances door frame. It
would be suggested that all due care should be taken not to destroy or damage the frame but somehow incorporate it
within the proposed works.
In regard to the installation of the lift shaft and the incorporated ground works. The proposed works are in an area
almost completely covered in re-enforced concrete. Though as mentioned above in the report, some of the
basements concrete/brick structure appears to have been built on earlier stone coursed foundations. The disturbance
therefore has the potential of disturbing archaeological material which may become apparent during the watching
brief.
