Leighton Buzzard Bank
The history of the current Barclays Bank building has its foundations in 1812 when five of the town's Quakers, founded the Leighton Buzzard Bank. They were Peter Bassett, John Grant, William Exton, Joseph Sharples and John Dollin Bassett. In 1866 the bank was completely re-built, and this is the building which we see today. The new building was designed by Alfred Waterhouse (later in his career he was responsible for the Town Hall in Manchester, Law Courts in The Strand, and the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London).
