Corn Exchange, Grade II* listed bank building in Market Place, Romsey, England.

The Corn Exchange features neoclassical architecture with three bays, Corinthian pilasters, and decorative carvings of agricultural tools in the pediment.

Local businessmen established the Romsey Corn Exchange Company in the early 1860s to construct this building, which opened its doors in 1864.

Prime Minister Lord Palmerston delivered a speech to the Romsey Labourers' Encouragement Association at this location in January 1865.

The building served multiple functions throughout its existence, including a cinema, drill hall during World War I, and Barclays Bank until December 2022.

The modillioned pediment displays gilded sheaves, a pitchfork, and a sickle, symbolizing its original purpose as a grain trading venue.
