The Leigh-Pemberton House is a half-timbered Tudor building on Castle Square in Lincoln, England, on Bailgate between Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle. Built in 1543 for a merchant, it served as a bank from 1899 until 1979, when Sir Robin Leigh-Pemberton, then chairman of the National Westminster Bank and later Governor of the Bank of England, donated it to the city of Lincoln, which renamed it after him. The building underwent major restoration in 1929 and again in 1970 and was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1953.
