Built in 1864–66 to a design by Alfred Waterhouse as the Nantwich branch of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, it is among the most notable examples of Victorian corporate architecture in the town.

Background
History
1–3 Churchyard Side was built in 1864–66 to a design by Alfred Waterhouse as the Nantwich branch of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank. In 1874, there were four banks in the town, the others being the Midland, also on Churchyard Side; the Savings Bank on Welsh Row; and Downes, Groome, and Hamilton on the High Street. By 1939, the bank had become known simply as the District Bank, and 1–3 Churchyard Side remained a branch of the District Bank until at least the 1970s.
Description
1–3 Churchyard Side is two-storey Victorian Gothic building in red brick with blue brick decoration and sandstone dressings, under a tiled roof. The central main entrance is flanked by two gables and is reached by a flight of brick steps. Several of the windows have stone mullions and transoms; some have decorative arches above in brick or brick and sandstone.
