The New Sarum Bank was established in 1811 in the city’s old Weavers' Hall in Endless street by Joseph Everett (1771-1837), of Heytesbury, who served as mayor in 1803, Francis Seward, John Hodding Jr, Henry Hetley (fl. 1846), of Wilton, Charles William Everett, and Richard Hetley, The Close, who served as mayor in 1839-40. At first it traded under the name of Everett, Seward and Co, and later as Everett and Hetley, subsequently becoming Everett and Pinckney in 1856 with Charles Everett the sole survivor of the original partnership. The fine old oak panelling which originally covered the walls of the Weavers' Hall was removed, and carefully re-fitted to adorn the large public room in the new bank premises, built by Messrs Pinckney Bros in the Market square in 1878, and closed by the Wilts and Dorset Banking Company, with whom Messrs. Pinckney amalgamated on 26 June 1897
