The history on the site http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300087318-barclays-bank-ruthin#.WY3usOmQzIU shows :- ''Purpose-built bank by F A Roberts, 1928. It replaced a large timber-framed house, Exmewe Hall, which it partly replicates, with main range and cross-wing plan-form, and ornate timber-framing in the Cheshire style. A plate fixed to the front of the building states that it was the birthplace of Sir Thomas Exmewe, goldsmith, merchant and Lord Major of London in 1517, and also of Dr Gabriel Goodman, Dean of Westminster, 1561-1601.''
