Ovington's Bank was written at the height of Weyman's powers, and is considered the finest of his 24 novels.
Although set in 1825, the novel's themes are as relevant today as then. The tale follows a run on a private bank: in the fall-out the protagonists are challenged to examine their motives, their morals and their values as the surprising plot unfolds.
This is a tale of tension between traditional values and modern opportunities; between ambition and love; self-denial and passion. The characters are unforgettable, the plot swift-moving and full of the excitement of a stage-coach dash to London, theft, a violent mugging, a desperate bid to keep up appearances and the tenderest of love scenes.

He was born in Ludlow, England, in 1855 and educated at Shrewsbury and Christ Church College, Oxford where he obtained a degree in modern history. He qualified as a barrister and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1881. His income was so little that he wrote some short stores which were published in the Cornhill Magazine; as a result of these the editor suggested he wrote on a larger scale.
For the last thirty years of his life he lived in Denbighshire, where he was chairman of the Magistrate's Bench. He died in 1928
