Background
History
The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bank first established a branch in Newark in 1835 branch but this was replaced by a new building designed by the architect Watson Fothergill and erected between 1886 and 1887. It is in early Italian Gothic style and incorporates a manager's house. In 1891 the bank suffered an embarrassment when it was revealed that the manager of the Newark branch, Robert James Beard, had defrauded the bank of £25,000 () before drowning himself in the River Trent. The bank covered the loss from its reserves. It became the London, County, Westminster & Parr's Bank in 1919. The tower was reduced in height in 1957.
