This green commemorative plaque records: Savings Bank Designed in imposing 'tudor-gothic' style in 1858, the Lynn Savings Bank hoped to inspire the confidence of local savers! The town's armorial bearings include the pelican badge, and the shield is on the rainwater pipes. The bank had opened in 1817 in the High Street. Recorded plaque organisation: Rotary Club of Kings Lynn Trinity.
Lynn Savings Bank, established in 1817, was a significant financial institution in Lynn, reflecting the growth of savings banks in the Victorian era; its distinctive 'tudor-gothic' building, completed in 1858, serves as a notable example of architectural design intended to instill public trust and is adorned with local heraldic symbols.
