From the Nationwide web site: "Nationwide are unable to provide a Foreign Draft or pay in a Foreign Cheque" http://www.nationwide.co.uk/~/media/MainSite/documents/support/payments-transfers/P1078_OverseasPayments.pdf Fraser & Fraser should be asked to accept the return of the cheque and then to make their payment via SWIFT. The information...
A normal bank would accept it. For example, here's what Natwest say:
While we don't usually recommend drafts and cheques, there are some basic principles you can apply to make the process as simple and cost efficient as possible.
- Submit sterling cheques and drafts drawn on banks abroad, or foreign currency cheques and drafts drawn on the UK to be cleared on your behalf
- Reduce costs by including multiple cheques and drafts in the same transaction. These need to be in the same currency, drawn on banks in the same country, for negotiation.
