Although the Banking Hall was partially demolished in the 1870s, some remains above ground so you can appreciate its former scale and layout. The surviving sections now contain an exhibition space relating to the history of the Peckovers’ banking business. Below ground the huge-doored brick vaults that once held gold and silver coinage survive little changed.

Peckover House is a secret gem, an oasis hidden away in an urban environment. A classic Georgian merchant's town house, it was lived in by the Peckover family for 150 years.
The Peckovers were staunch Quakers, which meant they had a very simple lifestyle - yet at the same time they ran a successful private bank. Both facets of their life can be seen through your guided tour of the house and as you wander the gardens.
The gardens themselves are outstanding - 0.8 hectares (2 acres) of sensory delight, complete with orangery, summer-houses, croquet lawn and rose garden with a varitety of species of rose.
Since opening in July 2022, the Damsons community group has been a permanent resident of the Reed Barn at Peckover House and Gardens. Initially meeting twice, a week on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, the group was created for people living with dementia and their loved ones and offers a calm and relaxing space for people to socialise with those in a similar situation, gather information and seek advice. Following the success of the last two years, we are delighted to be able to offer two further sessions on a Tuesday and a Wednesday morning too.
