2009-03-05 | 1393203 | Parkham Wood House | Parkham Wood House in Brixham, Devon, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * It is of particular interest in being the first of four houses by Mervyn Seal built in 1960-3, where he successfully used the butterfly roof which subsequently inspired him to develop this design concept further. * It is a very interesting example of English modern domestic architecture that faithfully follows particular aspects of international 1930s architectural idiom and theory as expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright and in particular that of Le Corbusier. * The way in which the overall design has incorporated its dramatic cliff setting (a challenging site to build on), and its spectacular views of Brixham, is impressive and unusual. * Its plan flows very well, with inter-related spaces offering interesting internal vistas emphasised by the use of different materials, light, colour and changing levels. * It contains many original bespoke features that are of a very high quality both in terms of design and use of materials. Details 1946-1/0/10007 BRIXHAM PARKHAM ROAD Parkham Wood House 05-MAR-09 II A house built in 1960 to a design by Mervyn Seal. MATERIALS: Parkham Wood House is supported on five brick cross walls, set on concrete slab foundations bedded on the natural rock, carrying projecting cantilever beams in concrete to support the front part of the building. The floor of the house is laid in pre-cast hollow beams accommodating the reinforcement of the cantilever. The roof has timber joists laid from the rear solid wall to the front fascia, and is supported by beams over the glazed windows, and by five slender steel columns concealed between the large window frames. The roof, with a circular rooflight above the living room, is covered with 2 thick panels of compressed straw covered and sealed with cardboard. PLAN: The house has an open elongated plan, with an entrance hall to the rear and a kitchen (set above a garage with study), at its far north end. The central part of the house consists of an open dining area and a living room and snug with a full lenghth balcony. The three bedrooms are situated on mezzanine level at the far south end. EXTERIOR: The butterfly shaped, assymetrical west front is fully glazed with coloured vitroslabs at its north end, below the kitchen windows. The bedroom wing to the south projects slightly forward, and the distinctive form of the building is framed by deep projecting soffits that continue down the side walls, further articulated by a broad white vitreous-enamelled asbestos fascia. The central part of the facade has a rectangular shaped balcony with glass panels below the guard rail, leading to an external two flight stair constructed of a metal spine (custom made by metalworkers in Brixham harbour), supporting utile mahogany treads. The rear elevation, facing the cliff, is almost blind, apart from a narrow rear entrance to the south bedroom wing, and a small flat roofed extension, added later in the C20. The elevation at the cantilevered south end of the building has a square window, set off-centre, lighting the masterbedroom. INTERIOR: The interior has survived remarkably well and contains a number of features that form part of the original design, such as a V jointed parana pine ceiling from which hangs a bespoke chandelier of coloured glass, a snug at the end of the sunken livingroom with a local blue and red limestone wall terminating the vista from the open dining area, glazed sliding doors with utile mahogany frames and original door handles giving access to the balcony, a glazed bedroom on mezzanine level overlooking the living room, a custom made stair with metal spine supporting utile mahogany treads, to the same design as those to the exterior (the railings have been added later and are not of special interest), fixed metal and utile mahogany shelving units separating the dining area from the livingroom and the entrance hall, timber framed walls covered in strip v jointed solid Agba boarding, and utile mahogany pelmets. The floors are in concrete lined with polystyrene insulation and a screed providing underfloor heating. SETTING: The house is built against a steep cliff, with natural rock formations integrated into the design, and further emphasised by a dramatic zig zag drive that has been cut through the rock. The fully glazed front of the house with its balcony offers wide panoramic views of Brixham, its harbour and the sea in the distance. HISTORY Parkham Wood House was built in 1960 for John Brady (owner of an adjacent hotel), to a design by the architect Mervyn Seal. The contractors, MP Kent Ltd completed the house within six months. From 1949 to 1954 Seal studied at the Royal West of England Academy, School of Architecture in Bristol. Subsequently he worked briefly at Gerrard Taylor and Partners in Bath. He then moved to the City of Bath Planning and Architects Department, for whom he designed Bath Haycombe Crematorium in 1957. Seal's first domestic designs include Lyncombe Coach House near Bath (1956-57), a conversion of a derelict coach house and stables. During this period he won an award in the Small House Design Competition held by the RIBA and Ideal Home for a patio bungalow he had designed. In 1959 he completed Bridge House in Condover, Shropshire, for his own young family. However, they moved out that same year, as Seal opened up his own architectural practice in Brixham, which he ran from there until 1996. Parkham Wood House was the first in his series of four houses with a so-called butterfly roof, all situated in the Torbay area. They include Kaywana Hall (1962, for his family), Elbury Hall (1962, for friends) and Corridon House (1963), now altered and/or extended. The four houses featured extensively in the 1963 Christmas edition of Ideal Home magazine. At Parkham Wood House, apart from the request for a three-bedroom house, Seal was given complete freedom of design. Its elongated open plan was first used by Seal in his earlier domestic work, such as Bridge House (1958). As confirmed by Mervyn Seal, his architectural style is strongly influenced by Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright.

2009-06-22 | 1393571 | SLIPWAY AND HARD BRIXHAM OUTER HARBOUR | The Slipway and Embarkation Hard, Brixham Outer Harbour has been designated at grade II for the following principal reasons: * It is an iconic reminder of D-Day and the part played by both local communities and the American military * Despite some alteration and modification , it represents the best preserved example of the standard type of hard and slipway * It is an important example of a historic World War II resource of national significance * It is linked to the nearby grade II* listed hard at Torquay * It has a memorial marker * It is associated with contemporary surviving defences Details 1946-1/0/10010 Slipway and Hard, Brixham Outer Harbour 23-JUN-09 II A four-berth Landing Ship Tank (LST) slipway and embarkation hard constructed in 1943 situated in the lee of an existing breakwater. PLAN: The hard is roughly triangular in shape and gently slopes towards the sea, whilst the slipway has a much greater gradient. MATERIALS: The surviving features include: a modern protective concrete slab surface laid parallel to the sea overlying the original cobbled biscuit surface, which formed the hard layer necessary to carry heavy vehicles. The original cobbled surface survives at the lower end of the slipway and a further band leading towards the sea across the hard on the site of a pipeline may be original or reconstructed. A bronze memorial plaque dedicated to the men of the 4th Infantry Division,VII Corps, US Army, who embarked at Brixham is situated adjacent to the hard. HISTORY: The Brixham slipway and embarkation hard was built in 1943 as part of Operation Overlord, the springboard for the Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. The hard was one of 68 purpose built structures constructed along the southern shores of England and Wales. Around another 40 existing slipways were used and some of these were adapted at this time. The Brixham hard in common with all the others was heavily used in the period immediately before the invasion and during the subsequent three weeks. The hard was derequisitioned on 27th February 1945. At the end of the war the associated jetties were removed and the concrete hard and slipway retained for commercial and leisure use. Between 1952 and 1965 a protective layer of concrete slabs was laid over most of the original surface.

2011-02-04 | 1393661 | Castle Tor | Castle Tor is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: the house, designed by respected Fred Harrild, is carefully and imaginatively designed in an unusually ambitious interpretation of Devon vernacular on a grand scale. Alterations notwithstanding, the house retains external and internal elements of note. * Group value: the house sits within a registered landscape, containing other listed structures, which constitites an exceptionally ambitious ensemble. * Representivity: the house and grounds form a notable example of designing for seaside retirement from the inter-war period. Details This list entry was subject to a Minor Amendment on 16 April 2021 to reformat the text to current standards 885-1/0/10028 TORQUAY OXLEA ROAD Castle Tor 04-FEB-10 GV II Castle Tor. 1928-34. Fred Harrild FRIBA, architect. Later extensions. MATERIALS: it is constructed of traditional materials: rendered mass wall construction with a slate roof and rendered stack, and some slate-hanging to the gables and walls. The majority of windows have been replaced with uPVC in the late-C20. PLAN: the house is irregular in plan, with the principal rooms (south-east) overlooking the garden and sea views. The service rooms are to the rear. The entrance hall, with staircase, is to the south-west. An elaborate fight of stone stairs with arches leads to the enclosed entrance courtyard (west). EXTERIOR: externally, the two-storey house is asymmetrical. A later-C20 single-story extension with large windows and a hipped, slate facia occupies much of the ground floor, supporting an extensive sun-terrace, with wrought iron balustrading. Above, the original slate-hung gables of the cross wings survive. The south-east cross wing retains its wrought iron balcony above the in-filled logia, with rusticated stone piers in-situ. The south-east (courtyard) elevation is little altered. To the south the projecting two-storey porch has a hipped roof and ashlar details to the openings, including a gibbs surround and a moulded drip hood to the entrance. The panelled door is set in a Tudor arch. There is a central, stained-glass staircase window with a Tudor-rose motif. A number of smaller, lancet and single light windows retain their original geometric leaded-lights. To the north a narrow, cross-wing projects, tower-like, with a hipped roof and deep, overhanging, eaves; there is a series of small, single-light, mullioned windows wrapping around its three projecting sides, just below the eaves. The east elevation has a large canted-bay window with a steeply pitched, slate-hung, gable-end and timber mullioned windows, with square leaded-lights. To the north of the porch the building steps back, with timber, mullioned windows, with square leaded-lights and fish-scale, slate-hung walls. The rear elevation (north-west) is terraced into steeply rising ground. Castle Tor sits within a Registered Landscape (Grade II) also designed by F Harrild; it contains a number of separately listed buildings and structures. INTERIOR: the house retains a number of notable features including good quality joinery, a dog-leg staircase with twisted balusters and a stained glass staircase window; and fine burr-wood doors with crystal handles. Some of the timber windows with leaded-lights also survive. Much of the interior plasterwork survives with intricate cornicing and panelling in the principal rooms; alterations have taken place throughout (especially to the former service quarters). An upstairs bathroom retains mosaic decoration. HISTORY: Castle Tor and the architectural elements of the garden were designed by Fred Harrild, and constructed by a local builder named William Amos Deakin. The rough, steeply-sloping land, overlooking the sea, was formerly part of Lord Holdon's estate and was purchased in the 1920s by Horace Pickersgill, the son of a Leeds bookmaker, who had been advised to winter in Torquay for health reasons: this was the age of the Devon Riviera, when appreciation of Devon's beauty and climate was very high. Harrild, a former pupil of Sir Edwin Lutyens (articled in 1907), became a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects; based for a period in Totnes, he exhibited a number of designs for houses and a garden in Torquay at the Royal Academy between 1929-33. He is acknowledged as a leading practitioner of the late Arts and Crafts movement in Devon. A watercolour of the gardens by Cyril Farey was shown at the 1933 RA. Changes took place to the house in c1980 and in 1998. Castle Tor sits within a Registered Landscape (Grade II) also designed by F Harrild. | 09.0007.II | 2011-02-04 | |||||||||

2010-02-04 | 1393662 | THE THATCHED HOUSE | The Thatched House is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons: * The house is a good inter-war example of a domestic revival building by a known architect, Fred Harrild. * It is a highly characteristic design on the cottage-ornee theme by an interesting architect. * Both the exterior and interior demonstrate the quality of the design, with fine attention to detail and well crafted features. * It compares well with other listed houses by the same architect, who is of interest as a pupil of Lutyens who developed his master's interest in English vernacular buildings * It is highly representative of inter-war suburban housing in a seaside context, showing the adaptation of traditional forms for modern living. Details 885-1/0/10033 MEAD ROAD 04-FEB-10 Livermead The Thatched House II A two-storey vernacular revival house of 1925 to a design by Fred Harrild, with an extension added before 1933. MATERIALS: It is constructed of traditional materials: rendered mass wall construction with a thatched roof, some weather-boarding to the gables and brick stacks. PLAN: The house is irregular in plan, with the principal rooms (south) in a block, overlooking the garden and sea views. The service rooms are to the rear (north), with a later range to the west. The entrance hall, with staircase, is in the angle between the ranges with a porch leading from the main entrance to the enclosed entrance courtyard (east). EXTERIOR: Externally, the house is asymmetrical with random fenestration; the majority of windows have been replaced with uPVC in the late C20. The principal elevation (south) overlooking the garden is of two storeys. The formerly open, timber loggia has been enclosed. To the left the thatched roof extends over the loggia, and incorporates the curved dormer window of the master bedroom. To the right are large C20 windows to the first and ground floors. There is a tall brick stack to the south-west gable which is half-hipped and weather-boarded. On the curving courtyard elevation (east) the thatched roof extends, in part, over the first floor incorporating both the dormer window of the first-floor landing and the long, single-storey porch, which is of heavy-posted, timber-framed construction, now part-glazed. Towards the north the roof steps down to the single-storey former servant's range, which has had wide uPVC doors inserted. An open, thatched walkway covers the entrance to the courtyard and provides access to the former garage; a small 1 1/2 storey thatched building has been converted to provide annexe accommodation. The rear or roadside elevation (north-east) is asymmetrical with random fenestration and has a relatively simple braced plank door under a thatched canopy. INTERIOR: The interior the house retains a number of notable features including its joinery; hardwood floors and skirting; a staircase with twisted balusters; planked doors with a simple linen fold decoration and hand-forged ironwork; and panelling to the fire surrounds. The ground-floor rooms have 1920s stone fireplaces. The rooms have seen some alteration with the removal of the original servants' suite and its conversion into a large kitchen, and the creation of a modern dining room adjacent to the hall, with a facsimile stone fireplace and modern ceiling beams. On the first floor are bedrooms and bathrooms; although none of the fireplaces survives, much of the joinery does. HISTORY: The Thatched House was built c1925. The original plans show the architect to be W Nicholson, but the commission was taken over by Fred Harrild, who exhibited a drawing for the house at the Royal Academy in 1926. An additional wing, with garden rooms, was added soon after. The house is shown on the 1933 Ordnance Survey map in its present extended form. Harrild was a pupil of Sir Edwin Lutyens and the design of The Thatched House anticipated Lutyens's own vernacular cottage-ornee work at Cockington, the Drum Inn, 1934 (listed Grade II); he made a speciality of designing vernacular revival cottages, and his work embodies the Devon seaside pictureque movement of those years. In common with other popular resorts along the south coast, suburban development flourished in Torquay during the inter-war period. The Livermead area, on the headland overlooking the sea, was an affluent suburban development, with individual properties in a variety of styles and sizes. SOURCES: Cherry, B, Pevsner, N, Buildings of England. Devon, (2002), 864. The Thatched House is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons: * The house is a good inter-war example of a domestic revival building by a known architect, Fred Harrild. * It is a highly characteristic design on the cottage-ornee theme by an interesting architect. * Both the exterior and interior demonstrate the quality of the design, with fine attention to detail and well crafted features. * It compares well with other listed houses by the same architect, who is of interest as a pupil of Lutyens who developed his master's interest in English vernacular buildings * It is highly representative of inter-war suburban housing in a seaside context, showing the adaptation of traditional forms for modern living. | 10.0008.II | 2010-02-04 | |||||||||

2013-06-10 | 1414397 | TORRE SIGNAL BOX | Reasons for Designation Torre Signal Box, erected in 1921, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: although based on one of the more common types of GWR signal box, the tall three-storey arrangement and contrasting blue brickwork means that the box is an unusual and confident design; * Intactness: it has been subject to little external alteration and the original windows and brick detailing are intact; * Fittings: despite the loss of some of the internal operational equipment, it retains key features including the signal levers (as noted in 2010) which add to the building's good level of survival, and provide a physical manifestation of its original use; * Group value: it has strong group value with Torre Railway Station and footbridge (listed at Grade II). History From the 1840s, huts or cabins were provided for men operating railway signals. These were often located on raised platforms containing levers to operate the signals and in the early 1860s, the fully glazed signal box, initially raised high on stilts to give a good view down the line, emerged. The interlocking of signals and points, perhaps the most important single advance in rail safety, patented by John Saxby in 1856, was the final step in the evolution of railway signalling into a form recognisable today. Signal boxes were built to a great variety of different designs and sizes to meet traffic needs by signalling contractors and the railway companies themselves. Signal box numbers peaked at around 12,000-13,000 for Great Britain just prior to the First World War and successive economies in working led to large reductions in their numbers from the 1920s onwards. British Railways inherited around 10,000 in 1948 and numbers dwindled rapidly to about 4000 by 1970. In 2012, about 750 remained in use; it was anticipated that most would be rendered redundant over the next decade. The Great Western Railway type 7 design was introduced in 1897 and continued to be built into the 1920s and formed the basis of the company’s signal boxes for the remainder of its corporate existence. A distinctive pattern of windows with glazing bars spaced so that there are three panes in the top half of the sash and two below and extensive use of blue engineering bricks providing contrast with red facing bricks are key features of the design. Another characteristic of many of the later examples of the design is that there are internal stairs rather than the external flight of steps found in most signal box designs. There are many small variations within the type 7 design but they do not impact significantly on its appearance. Torre Signal Box was constructed to the type 7 design in 1921-22. Located on the northbound platform at Torre, Torre Signal Box opened in 1922 for the Great Western Railway and replaced an earlier structure that was too small to control the growing station and goods yards at Torre Station in South Devon. The design is unusual as it is three storeys rather than the typical two. Some of the interior equipment was lost to theft in March 2004. The signal box was disused at the time of the assessment (2013). Details MATERIALS: constructed of English-bond red brick with blue engineering brick detailing to the window surrounds, plinth and quoins. The roof is covered in slate. PLAN: a rectangular plan. EXTERIOR: it is three storeys and has a symmetrical three-bay front (north-east), facing onto the tracks, with a row of six-pane windows on the ground floor and three larger nine-pane windows on the first floor. The second floor is clad in weatherboarding and has a continuous observation window to the front elevation consisting of a row of sliding timber casements which continue on the returns and round to either end of the rear elevation. The south-east return contains the ground-floor door and a further six-pane casement window. To the rear, there are three nine-pane windows on the first floor and a small window to the right. The north-west contains a further entrance door and a set of steps leading from the basement up to the platform. All of the windows and the entrance are currently (2013) boarded over. The shallow-pitched, hipped roof is clad in slate, has bracketed eaves, and two ventilators on the ridge. INTERIOR: a theft in 2004 resulted in the loss of some of the operational equipment. There is an internal stair at the north end. The ground floor is over two levels and includes a battery store. The first floor has had most of the original equipment removed and is empty apart from a WC. On the second floor the signal levers are still in position as well as an original stove (as of 2010). | 13.0009.II | 2013-06-10 | |||||||||

2014-08-20 | 1420617 | Arcaded Retaining Wall between Tor Hill Road and St Efride's Road | A retaining wall with double-height vaulted arcade of semi-circular arches, set into the cliff face. Mid-C19. Reasons for Designation The arcaded retaining wall is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural and engineering interest: an unusual and largely intact example of a mid-C19 retaining wall designed in the Italianate style as a double-height arcaded structure to form a prominent feature within the wider landscape; * Historic interest: now set amidst late C19 and mid-C20 housing, it originally formed part of the mid-C19 Lauriston Hall estate and has added interest for the late C19 incorporation of a rockwork in the upper arcade, by Robert Veitch & Sons of Exeter. History The arcaded retaining wall to the cliff face of Tor Hill was erected in the mid-C19 to provide a garden terrace for the owners of Lauriston Hall, a villa commissioned by Sir John Theophilus Lee in the 1830s. In the 1880s the upper arcade was adapted to include a rockwork which featured a series of grottoes, caves and a waterfall, and was planted with alpines, ferns and climbers. The rockwork was designed by the landscape gardener, F W Meyer and executed by Robert Veitch & Sons of Exeter. Lauriston Hall was largely destroyed by bombing in 1942 and subsequently demolished. The retaining wall is the only surviving feature of the estate. Details A retaining wall with double-height vaulted arcade of semi-circular arches, set into the cliff face. Mid-C19. MATERIALS: constructed of limestone, with brick and stone dressings. PLAN: the arcades, which face south-west, form the straight section of the feature at the rear of No. 11 and No. 9 St Efride’s Road. The blind retaining wall then continues to the north-east before curving to the south-east to form another straight section of wall, again facing south-west, to the rear of No. 7 and No. 5 St Efride’s Road. Steps, from the terrace above, provide access to the upper arcade. EXTERIOR: the principal south-west face of the arcade is arranged as two tiers of nine, semi-circular, vaulted arches rising from ground level at the foot of the cliff. There is a stone balustrade to the base of each tier. The upper tier of arches has vermiculated keystones below a corbelled-out cornice. Above, at the ground level of the top of the cliff, is a stone balustrade which includes square piers with pyramidal caps, and vase-shaped balusters. The balustrade continues to the north-east and south-west above a plain limestone retaining wall with a corbelled cornice. INTERIOR: not inspected (2014) although there is understood to be a room at the right-hand end of the covered walkway of the upper arcade. | 14.0010.II | 2014-08-20 | |||||||||

2014-12-12 | 1422924 | Brixham War Memorial | Summary First and Second World War Memorial. Reasons for Designation Brixham war memorial is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20; * Architectural interest: it utilises intricately-carved granite stone to create an elegant design; * Context: it has a prominent, elevated position overlooking Brixham Harbour. History The war memorial was erected to commemorate those men who died during the First World War. A number of options for a memorial had been considered for the town including an obelisk, a clock tower and a public park. In the end a stone cross was chosen. It was in place by 1920 and positioned on a prominent spot on the cliffs overlooking Brixham Harbour. Further names were added in memory of the Fallen of the Second World War and the memorial re-dedicated in 1951. Details First and Second World War Memorial. MATERIALS: a granite memorial with bronze plaques. DESCRIPTION: the memorial has a two-tiered base surmounted by a square plinth. This is topped by a long shaft with a wheel cross. The front face of the cross and shaft has a carved design. A dedication is made in raised lettering at the base of shaft which reads ‘IN/ GRATEFUL/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ OUR HEROIC/ FELLOW CITIZENS/ WHO SACRIFICED/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ WORLD WARS/ 1914 - 1919 / 1939 -1945./ THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE’. This dedication is replicated on the opposite side of the shaft. The plinth contains bronze plaques on each side with the names of those who died during the First and Second World Wars. The plinth is surrounded by a low iron chain-link fence on the top tier and in front small stones bearing the dates of the conflicts on each side of the memorial.

2015-04-29 | 1423601 | Torquay Library | Summary Torquay Library. 1937. Designed by Borough Engineer, P W Ladmore, in an Art Deco style with associated boundary and retaining wall. The structural engineer was Dr Oscar Faber and the contractor was R E Narracott. Late C20 and early-C21 alterations. The three-storey lift shaft to the rear of the building is excluded from the listing. Reasons for Designation Torquay Library is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural quality: an interesting example of an Art Deco library that is well-composed with subtle detailing; * Interior: well-preserved library interiors from before 1939 are rare and at Torquay the overall internal decorative scheme is of high quality with good Art deco detailing throughout, including features such as the radiator grilles, rooflights, shelving and doors; * Group value: it forms part of an important group of civic buildings with Electric House (Grade II) and the Town Hall (Grade II) which incorporates the Carnegie funded library. History Funded by an £8,900 donation from the Carnegie Foundation, Torquay’s first public library, designed by Thomas Davison, was built in 1907. It formed part of a two-phase development with the Town Hall (Grade II) which was built to its immediate north-east in 1911. By 1930 the library needed to expand and Torquay Council decided that a new library should be built to the north-west side of the Town Hall. The new library was designed in 1933 by P W Ladmore, the Borough Engineer, along with two architectural assistants, W Masden and R Crompton. It was agreed in 1934 that the Lymington Road frontage should be clad in local dressed limestone to match the Town Hall, and the central entrance bay was to be built of Portland stone. The firm R E Narracott were appointed as contractors, and Dr Oscar Faber as structural engineer. The library opened on 26 January 1938. Externally, the building is largely unaltered, though a lift shaft has been added to the rear elevation and the basement, which provided car parking and caretaker’s accommodation, has been fully enclosed with the insertion of windows and wall panels. Internally, there has been some reconfiguration of the plan with the removal and some re-siting of plasterboard and glass-partition walls. The former juvenile department has been relocated from the lower ground floor to the ground floor and the library facilities now operate on one level. Some removal of the fitted furniture including the library counter, the reading desks from the former reading room, and some of the shelving has been removed. The lower ground floor and basement are now (2014) used as office accommodation and storage. Details Torquay Library. 1937. Designed by Borough Engineer, P W Ladmore, in an Art Deco style with associated boundary and retaining wall. The structural engineer was Dr Oscar Faber and the contractor was R E Narracott. Late C20 and early-C21 alterations. The three-storey lift shaft to the rear of the building is excluded from the listing. MATERIALS: it has a concrete frame encased in brick, with facings of Portland stone to the entrance bay and limestone blocks to the flanking bays. The rear elevation is rendered. The windows are metal framed and the internal fittings are teak. PLAN: rectangular plan, with a central entrance that breaks forwards and a recessed two-storey link between the public hall and the town hall. EXTERIOR: the three-storey building comprises ground and lower ground floors, and a basement which was formerly open. At street level, the principal elevation (north-east) of the ground floor has a central entrance bay flanked by six-bay wings. The entrance has a surround of deeply recessed orders with a pair of teak doors with an Art-Deco glazed panel and a plain fanlight above. The windows to either side have moulded stone cills and, together with the window above, are set within stepped, recessed openings. The entrance and window above are set within a raised stone surround which has a shaped head and includes a stepped flagpole holder which rises above the stepped parapet. There is a narrow frieze of concave fluted stone strips which continues around the sides. The façade is inscribed with the words ‘PUBLIC LIBRARY’ in bronze lettering with green enamel infill. The flanking wings both contain six windows, each set within stepped recesses with flat keystones. To the left of the south-east wing is a set-back bay linking the library and the town hall. The lower ground floor has six windows to either wing, with a window set horizontally beneath the entrance. Windows and wall panels have been inserted at basement level between the concrete posts. The side (north-west) elevation has five bays. The return bay of the flanking wing includes double doors to the former education office at ground floor, and to the right are a further four rendered bays. The rear (south-west) elevation of the building rises to three storeys and comprises a central three-bay section containing a central, horizontally-set window with a projecting lintel, with two rows of three, horizontally-set windows below. To either side are flanking wings of five bays. The downpipes to the side and rear elevations are square in profile and have stepped and fluted hopperheads. The pyramidal roof lantern has glazed panels. INTERIOR: The walls to the vestibule and entrance hall have sections of polished Lummaton marble. To either side of the vestibule is a chrome radiator grille with a geometric design. The floor is understood to be unpolished Travertine marble; it is now (2014) carpeted. The entrance to the main lending library has been widened to accommodate automatic doors, and the counter has been removed. There is now a modern, free-standing desk to the left. The lending library is double-height with a gallery around the perimeter. To the centre of the ceiling is a rectangular rooflight with a geometric design using chrome glazing bars. The glass has been painted. The gallery, which has a cork tile floor, is accessed via staircases to either side of the entrance. Each has a stepped and curved timber banister; an aluminium handrail has been added above, and at gallery level are stepped newel posts. Around the perimeter of the gallery is fixed shelving with stepped cornices. The safety rail, which has been raised, has curved sections to the corners. To the north-east side of the gallery, above the entrance hall, is the former Chief Librarian’s Office, which includes a fixed ladder and hatch to the roof, and a book lift which continues down to the lower ground floor. The library rooms to either side of the main lending library have glass-block rooflights. The interior retains original bookshelves with stepped cornices; the skirting and doorframes also have a stepped design. The surviving doors have a glazed panel with a chrome geometric design, and some retain chrome door handles and back plates. The original light fittings have been removed. The lower floors are used as office accommodation and storage. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: concrete boundary and retaining wall with supporting concrete buttresses to the inner face and grey limestone to the outer face. There is a bridge from the wall to the entrance bay. The walls have stepped piers and spike-topped railings which include a curved section with a circle and scroll design in front of each window. The original bronze lamps to the entrance piers have been removed. The wall continues along the north-west elevation and incorporates steps to the doorway to the former education office on the ground floor, and steps down to the former entrance to the juvenile department on the lower ground floor. Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that C21 century lift shaft to the rear of the building is not of special architectural or historic interest. | 15.0012.II | 2015-04-29 | |||||||||

Defences of military redoubt. 1794-1804. Probably designed by Lt-Col Alexander Mercer. Roughly coursed Devonian limestone rubble with granite string course. The redoubt occupies the southern promontary of the country park and was designed to protect the landward approach to the northern fort (qv). Its ramparts are 3-sided with 12 gun embrasures on the south-west side and 7 on the north-west side. Behind each embrasure is the sunken site of the gun platform. No embrasures on the north side, which was protected by the guns of the northern fort. The entrance, its features now stripped out, is on this side; approached by an earthern causeway, but said to have been a drawbridge here originally. Encircling the ramparts is a deep, dry moat which extends to the cliff edge at either end. On the rampart side is a steeply sloping stone revetment wall, finishing in a rounded granite string course below the gun embrasures. The other side of the moat has an earth embankment with an almost vertical stone revetment wall towards the moat and a gentle slope or glacis on the outside. The southern, seaward, side of the fort is mostly protected by steep cliffs, but at the western end a stretch of stone rubble musketry wall survives. The redoubt is usually referred to in learned publications as the No.1 Fort. It is part of an extensive system of fortifications erected on Berry Head following the outbreak of war with France in 1793. It has been described as one of the most complete surviving examples of purpose-built Napoleonic fortifications in south-west England.

1949-10-17 | 1208194 | Ramparts, Revetments, North Battery Platform, North And South Musketry Walls Of Northern Fort | Formerly known as: Walls of redoubt NE of Berry Head Common BERRY HEAD COMMON. Defences of military redoubt. 1795-1807. Probably designed by Lt-Col Alexander Mercer. Ramparts and musketry walls of roughly coursed squared Devonian limestone rubble; gate piers and gun embrasures of ashlar. Ramparts and battery platform have granite string courses. Ramparts cut off the neck of the northern promontary of Berry Head, protecting the seaward-looking artillery batteries from landward attack. The ramparts are 3-sided with 18 gun embrasures; roughly central gateway with long walled passage behind. Dry moat in front, deepest next to the gate. Adjoining the northern rampart is a battery platform, protected on its south-western side by a long musketry wall. A short stretch of musketry wall has survived on its north-eastern side, but most has been destroyed by quarrying. A substantial stretch of the southern musketry wall survives, approx 140m long, running north-east from the southern end of the ramparts. It includes a triangular projection or 'redan' to provide covering fire along the wall face. Ramparts are of earth with a slightly battered stone revetment wall on the outside. Inside is a raised terrace with the gun platforms cut into it; these have stone rubble side walls and some have floors of granite slabs installed in 1802-09 to replace the original wooden floors. Gun embrasures are slightly splayed on the inside and broadly splayed on the outside. Cannon have been imported into a few of them to give some idea of their original appearance. The gateway, now approached by an earthern causeway, originally had a wooden drawbridge. The recesses and some of the iron fittings for this are still visible on the inner faces of the tall gate piers, which have neckings and caps made from projecting stone courses; the caps have shallowly chamfered tops with iron spikes for former finials. Half-way down the passage at either side is a shallow recess in the stone side walls; these have iron hinges and were presumably designed to hold a pair of gates folded back. At the rear the walls slope downwards to match the ramparts, curving outwards at each end and finished with a round pier; that to north retains a shallow conical cap of red sandstone. The higher parts of the walls have flat stone copings; these have mostly been removed in the lower parts. The counterscarp revetment wall, which exists only for a short stretch at either side of the entrance causeway, is of roughly coursed, squared limestone rubble. The battery platform has no features, apart from the granite string course along the top of its front retaining wall and the musketry walls at either side. Neither these nor the southern musketry wall has a coping. (Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit Reports: Pye A R: Berry Head Fort, Brixham: 1990-: 14-17).

1975-01-10 | 1208199 | Sentry Box In Northern Fort, Approximately 3 Metres North Of Hm Coastguard Lookout | Sentry box. c1780 or 1794-8. Coursed limestone rubble. Low pyramidal stone slab roof. Small octagonal building with 4 open-fronted, triangular recesses for sentries. 1 storey. The 4 plain doorways have flat limestone lintels. No windows, but a small square aperture in each of the stone partition walls links one sentry to another; these contain wooden frames, rebated as if for glass. Recesses have stone-flagged floors. The building has a projecting plinth and the stone roof-slabs project slightly in the manner of an eaves-cornice. Although the defences of the northern fort date from 1795-1804, a battery and magazine were established at the tip of Berry Head in 1770-80 during the American War of Independence. The magazine is probably of this date and the sentry box appears to relate to a blocked doorway in its north wall.

Walls are mostly of squared Devonian limestone rubble, which is of particularly high quality at the King's Quay. Eastern Quay is of much rougher rubble construction, with large projecting boulders in the lower part and stones laid on edge above. C18 and early C19 walls have copings of Devonian limestone slabs, sometimes disguised by a coating of cement. Late C19 copings are of granite, those on the Southern Quay are of cement. The section of quay linking the Southern and King's Quays is wholly of concrete. Several flights of steps lead down to the water; as with the copings, the earlier ones are of Devonian limestone and the later ones of granite. The harbour is roughly square, its entrance party closed by the New Pier on the west and the King's Quay on the east. The Eastern Quay which projects at an angle from the western side of the harbour is believed to be a C18 addition. An earlier quay projected a little way south of it until C19; it is here that William of Orange is believed to have landed in 1688; a plan of 1781 marks 'King William's steps' at its western end. The southern end of the harbour was a long, shelving cobbled ramp until reconstructed in 1897 as the Victorian Embankment. The original quays seem to have been on the west side. The fish market was here until a new one was built on the north side of the New Pier in 1971 and 1991. Subsidiary features: New Pier is protected on its seaward side by a tall stone rubble wall having on the harbour side a raised walk paved with slabs of Devonian limestone. At its western end is a stone tablet commemorating 'Mr JOHN MATTHEWS for his spirited conduct in causing this Pier to be built'. Foundation stone laid 1803; built with subscriptions from the inhabitants of Brixham; builder was Mr John Kitt. At its eastern end is the short round rendered base of the harbour light. Fixed to the wall below it is a plaque commemorating the landing of the Duke of Clarence here in 1828; this is separately listed. On the pier itself are 5 solid Devonian limestone painted bollards with rounded tops. At the eastern end of the Victoria Embankment is a boat-slip with a surface of granite setts. Fixed to the wall alongside it is a limestone plaque commemorating the laying of its foundation stone on 22 June 1897. King's Quay is marked on the plan of 1781 as 'The Wharf constructed on the Deer Rock'. It was then used for watering HM Navy ships via an elaborate series of pipes running from a reservoir on the site now occupied by Brixham Town Hall.

The 2 upper stages each have a single-light pointed window in the N, S and W sides; mostly restored although the north and west windows in the lower stage appear to be of old Beer stone. The tower has never had a west door, probably because of its close proximity to the manor house (Churston Court (qv)). But there is a blocked doorway (visible only on the interior wall) with a round arch at the west end of the south aisle.

The 'cottage' attached to left end of building has a front gable-end chimney of red brick, partly rendered; chimney-breast projects on corbels. Added rear wing behind inner room has rendered gable-chimney with off-sets and tapered cap. Plan: basically 3-room and cross-passage, except that the cross-passage leads to a C16 stair turret at rear; gabled wing in front of junction of hall and inner room. The lower room appears to have functioned as a parlour in late C17; chimney in rear wall. Hall has chimney at upper end. Inner room (now kitchen) has gable-end chimney. In front of inner room is an addition with back staircase, probably of late C17. A short enclosed passage links the inner room to the 'cottage', a former outbuilding at right-angles to the frontage. Exterior: 2 storeys; in late C17 with garret; cottage single-storeyed. 7 windows wide with a further window in the cottage. Front doorway has chamfered, round-headed surround of painted stone. Except for window over doorway and in the additions, all the front windows have painted stone mullions. In the main range these are of 4 lights with king-mullions; the ordinary mullions are hollow-moulded and the king-mullions ovolo-moulded, except in left ground-storey window where the king-mullion is ogee-moulded. This window, the one to right of it, and the second upper-storey window from the right, each have an old metal casement. The wing has a 2-light painted stone-mullioned window in each storey, and a matching 3-light one in upper storey of right-hand side; mullions hollow-moulded; upper-storey windows have hoodmoulds; ground-storey window has old metal casement.

Tudor-style carved stone chimneypiece probably C19 or later; decorated iron fire-back. Flanking the chimneypiece are paired wooden Ionic columns, possibly old, supporting a wooden lintel carved with lion heads. Open-well late C17 wood staircase, rising to garret; bottom flight reinstated to match original. Closed pulvinated strings, twisted balusters, square newels with ball-finials and turned pendants; dado of bolection-moulded panelling. Hall (to left of cross-passage) has old Tudor-arched moulded fireplace of red sandstone; elaborate C19 wood surround with detached columns. In front of it, oddly positioned, is a screen originally with 4 twisted wood columns; probably C19; composite capitals; decorated with tendrils of foliage. Panelled shutters. In corridor behind this room is a late C17 door with 3 bolection-moulded panels. Between inner room and wing is a stone doorway with pointed arch and quarter-round mouldings; late-medieval, possibly surviving from an early stair-turret; C18 or C19 plank door with strap-hinges. Addition has possibly late C17 straight-flight wooden stair with turned balusters. In upper storey the 2 rooms to right of staircase (now sub-divided) have raised bolection-moulded panelling.

Roof of main range (inspected only over hall, lower room and staircase) has unblackened jointed-cruck trusses with cranked collars, threaded purlins and ridge. Churston Court belonged to the Yarde family from C15-C18. They were succeeded by the Bullers who, however, lived at Lupton House, Churston Ferrers (qv). In 1850 White's Directory records that the eldest son of Sir JBY Buller lived at the house, 'the ancient seat of the Yardes, which has lately been modernised, and has tasteful grounds.'

1975-01-10 | 1298244 | Walls Including Gate Piers And Folly To South And West Of Churston Court | Curtilage and garden walls, gate piers and folly adjoining house. Uncertain date; some are certainly C19, but stretches of walling may be earlier. Stone rubble. In front of house is a courtyard walled at the front and right-hand side, very close to the church of St Mary the Virgin (qv). Most of the right-hand wall has a flat stone coping, but the rear part is taller, plastered, and has a blocked window at the top; presumably it is the remnant of an added building, since demolished. The front wall is lower, with a rounded coping of stones on edge. It contains 2 square plastered gate piers with low pyramidal caps. To the left the courtyard opens into a large garden which projects forward and is walled except where it adjoins the courtyard in front of the house. It is divided into 3 sections by cross-walls parallel to the front of the house. What appears to be a ruined structure built of red sandstone blocks adjoins the front wall. The rear wall is in effect a raised terrace leading to a folly against the left boundary-wall. This is a small square structure entered through a wide 4-centred arch; above it is a platform enclosed by a low battlemented parapet wall. Listing NGR: SX9036256384 | 383578 | 1975-01-10 | |||||||||

Solid rendered walls; some stone rubble exposed in side walls. Hipped slated roof. A simple oblong plan with entrance lobby and gallery staircases on the south; rostrum (rebuilt 1981) on north; galleries on the other 3 sides. Classical style. 2 storeys raised on a high basement. 5-bay front, 5 windows wide. Round-headed central doorway has panelled double-doors incised with key-pattern; panelled reveals; elaborated cobweb fanlight. In front of it a deep Doric porch with eccentric capitals, the front columns probably of iron; flat modillioned hood with foliated boss on soffit.

Projecting cross-wing at either end, very likely later additions; that to right is part of the old house, that to left converted in 1990-1 from what was probably the threshing-barn. Attached to left side of barn is a lean-to with rounded pillar at front end, possibly a formerly open-fronted cartshed. At rear of barn is a lean-to with 2 small compartments (possibly pigsties) and loft over; said to have been an apple loft. Exterior: 2 storeys. Main range 3 windows wide. Front doorway off-centre to right, has plank door with ornate Gothic iron knocker. To right is a second doorway with plank door, probably a later addition since the side of the wing has been cut away to give access to it. Above both doors a lean-to wooden hood with slated roof.

1993-10-17 | 1298263 | Brixham Town Hall | Town hall and market hall. 1886. By GS Bridgman of Torquay. Squared and coursed, rough-faced Devonian limestone with yellow-brick and Bath stone dressings. Slated roofs, that to left hipped. Yellow-brick chimney on rear wall. Plan: main body of building consists of the market hall (now sub-divided) with a theatre above it. This lies gable-end on to New Road. To its left is an office-range with main entrance and staircase. The Market Street front to right has a short projection at each end. That at the front is rounded; that at the rear, which is part of a cross-range running behind the Market Hall/Theatre, is square. At right-angles to the cross-range, and built in the same style, are the public toilets. Italianate Classical style. Exterior: 2 storeys (toilets 1 storey). 7 windows wide. Market Hall is 3 windows wide. Round-arched doorway in centre of ground storey with moulded archivolt springing from moulded imposts, the archivolt with incised inscription BRIXHAM MARKET; fanlight with glazing bars forming a circle and 2 semi-circles. Above it a tall round-arched window with moulded and fluted imposts and keystone; stone-mullioned, with 3 round-headed lights below and a large round light with radial bars above. On the base of the window is incised MARKET HALL. Above the window is a moulded cornice surmounted by a gable feature containing a blind round opening and flanked by pedestals carrying battlement-like blocks. At the apex of the gable is a tall, moulded metal finial. The outer windows are round-arched, those in the ground storey with moulded archivolts and imposts, those above with hoodmoulds and fluted keystones; the ground-storey windows have in the upper part 2 round-headed lights with a round light at the top. Above the second-storey windows, which are considerably shorter than that in the centre, are entablatures with tall brick parapets. Main entrance is round-arched with 4 attached shafts at each side. Flanking it are pilasters supporting paired, fluted brackets, which in turn carry an entablature and parapet. The ground-storey windows to left of it are round-arched with moulded imposts and archivolts; sashes, the upper ones 2-paned. Upper-storey windows have 2-paned wood casements and transom-lights; flat chamfered lintels supported by moulded capitals, the brick jambs forming notional pilasters. Deep, flat eaves-cornice. Ornate iron finial. The rounded projection to right of building is similar in character. The Market Street front is plainer, with segmental or round brick arches to windows and doorways. Boxed eaves-cornice. Both projections have ornate iron finials. Toilets are similar. INTERIOR: main staircase is of wood in early Georgian style; narrow open well with turned balusters having square necking-pieces. Theatre has arch-braced roof-trusses. The building occupies the site of the former Naval Reservoir, from which pipes led down to King's Quay in the harbour; it was used for watering naval ships. The 1886 building was used for the Pannier Market; it appears to have replaced a building, which still survives on the Strand (Tourist Information Centre and fishmonger's shop (qv)). The Fish Market was quite separate and still stands (rebuilt in late C20) on The Quay.

Granite obelisk, the 2 bottom steps of its plinth of pink Devonian limestone; paving-stone of local black and white marble. An obelisk on a tapered moulded pedestal, this in turn standing on a plinth of 3 steps. Set into the south-east face of the pedestal is a paving-stone incised with the inscription in worn letters: ON THIS STONE AND NEAR THIS SPOT WILLIAM PRINCE OF ORANGE FIRST SET FOOT ON HIS LANDING IN ENGLAND FIFTH NOVEMBER 1688. Set into the north-west face is a local grey and pink polished marble plaque inscribed in gilt letters: THIS PLAQUE WAS UNVEILED BY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ON THE 21ST JULY 1988 TO COMMEMORATE THE TERCENTENARY OF THE LANDING OF PRINCE WILLIAM OF ORANGE AT BRIXHAM. On top of the obelisk is an iron spike, probably originally carrying a finial or a lamp. The paving-stone was reused for the landing at Brixham of the Duke of Clarence (late William IV) in 1823. Half of it was then set in this obelisk, the other half being carved with an inscription commemorating the Duke's visit and set up on the New Pier, where a copy of it can still be seen. A fragment was enclosed 'in a box of heart of oak 800 years old' and presented to the Duke. The obelisk originally stood in the Fish Market on the east side of The Quay, close to King William's Steps (since demolished). It was moved to the New Pier in 1849 and back to The Quay in 1988.

North-west gable-end has to right of ground storey a segmental-arched doorway containing old plank double-doors with strap-hinges (probably original with some repairs). To left is a slightly projecting round-arched niche with a moulded archivolt, possibly designed for a water tap. No openings in upper storey. INTERIOR: upper floor not inspected. The building is marked 'Market House' on the 1st edition 25-inch OS map of Brixham (1864). The building date of 1799 appears to derive from the fact that the Haven and Market Improvement Act was passed in that year; the commissioners appointed under the Act owned the Market House.

1951-03-13 | 1298291 | Harbour Light Restaurant | Probably fish cellars and net stores associated with the seine fishing industry, now largely in use as restaurant with some storage use associated with ships in the harbour. Possibly C17 in origin. MATERIALS: Colourwashed local red breccia rubble; natural slate roof laid in diminishing courses, gabled at ends; stack at S end of S range, shaft concealed by foliage. PLAN: Single-depth L-plan, the north range longer; part of the south range knocked through in the 1930s to give access to the esplanade. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 3-window front to S range, 7:2-window front to the north range, which narrows in the last 2 bays to the east. All windows (except those at the east end of the north range) are small-pane C20 timber casements with timber lintels and C20 timber boarded shutters. The first-floor windows have recesses below the sills, suggesting they have been reduced in length. The south range has a set of external breccia steps with a covered porch with a lean-to roof and 4-pane window to the left. One ground-floor C20 three-light window; C20 boarded door at right end. The north range has 3 doors, all C20, one a sliding door. 7 first-floor windows; 3 ground-floor windows. The set back section at the right end has fixed-pane C20 windows. Right gable end still preserves an industrial character, the gable partly weatherboarded, external timber steps up to a small door to the right. One ground- and first-floor large doorway, the first-floor doorway with a gantry. INTERIOR: Not inspected but may retain features of interest. HISTORY: Patterson argues that these buildings are those described in a deed of 10 July 1654 as domus piscarie and domus cellarium. A photograph of 1938 shows the N range with small first-floor windows and boarded loading doors (Penwill).

HISTORY: The sgraffito panels were executed by the first headmaster, Wallis, and are said to have been influenced by the sgraffito work on the Royal College of Organists, Kensington. They are a rare example of English external sgraffito work. They were in poor condition at time of survey (1991) but there are plans to repair them. The Science and Art School was originally located in New Street and was first financially supported by the Council in 1895. PLANs for the new school were first approved in June 1907, total cost »11,650, building completed in October 1908 (Penwill). (Penwill FR: Paignton in Six Reigns: 1935-: 49, 67).

Fine sedilia, reconstructed in 1870 using some old fragments with 4 crocketed gables and cusped ogee arches: bright C20 painting. Moulded arches into organ chamber and Lady Chapel on N side. Organ presented 1889 by Paris Singer (qv Oldway Mansion), organ case by M Mowbray.

Red sandstone Norman font with a circular bowl with palmette ornament. Spectacular late C15 chantry chapel, the best in Devon outside Exeter Cathedral, identified by Prince as being the chantry of the Kirkham family of Blagdon (qv Blagdon Manor). A deep stone screen with 2 Tudor arches contains tomb chests between a central doorway, the whole crowned with masses of pinnacles and carved angels. Recumbent effigies of a lady and knight on the chests, the arches and those of the central doorway with miniature fan-vaulting. Figures damaged, but the minor figures decorating the chest and the iconographic scenes are of a high quality and retain some traces of medieval colour. The iconography is very elaborate and discussed in detail in an article by Rushforth. Inside the chapel a C17 tomb chest to Sir William and Lady Kirkham with 2 kneeling figures facing one another under flat arches. Other monuments include a fine gisant in a cusped tomb recess in the S aisle and a foliated cross, re-sited under a moulded tomb recess with carved spandrels in the N aisle. Various wall tablets, including a slate monument with white marble pediment to Thomas Hunt of Yalberton and tablets to the Belfield family of Primley House (qv). Good collection of C19 and early C20 stained glass including W window of N aisle, signed Heaton, Butler and Bayne and other windows by Hardman and Clayton and Bell. Cope chest at W end of S aisle, made up of fragments of old wood some probably Flemish, with blind tracery. Vestry contains arcade of columns and fine domestic piscina, re-sited here in the early C20, which originated in Kirkham House but was mistakenly thought to have ecclesiastical origins.

1951-03-13 | 1279576 | Chantry Cottage | House, divided into 2. Probably late C17. Picturesque. MATERIALS: Rendered local red breccia; thatched roof; stacks with rendered shafts. PLAN: Overall Z-plan. The main block is single-depth with one principal room heated from an end stack (now axial with the wing) and an entrance into the end of an outshut on the front which also contains a winder stair. The wing, which is on a slightly different axis is one room on plan heated from an end stack with a later block at right-angles to the rear. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The entrance elevation of the main block has a one-window front, the verge thatch swept down over the projecting end of the outshut to the left. C20 boarded front door into outshut with ornamental strap hinges. Windows mostly C20 timber casements with diamond leaded panes. To the right a 3-light casement under a slate pentice, small 2-light casement above. The right return, the front of the wing, has a C20 boarded door and one ground and one first floor 3-light casement. The front of the outshut, parallel with the road, has a 3-light casement. The left return of this elevation has a probably C18 small one-light stair window. Pitched stone yard in front of house. INTERIOR: The main block has roughly carpentered beams with C20 joists. Fireplace partially blocked. Timber winder stair to first floor. Principal rafters visible on the first floor are quite substantial straight timbers, suggesting a C17 or C18 A-frame roof construction. The wing is entirely plain inside with almost all the internal carpentry renewed in the last ten years; fireplace blocked. HISTORY: An early 1930s photograph of the building indicates that the external openings are unaltered since that date. (Tully P: Peter Tully's Pictures of Paignton, Part II: 1992-: 36).

1951-03-13 | 1207782 | Kirkham House | House, now in guardianship. C15 origins with 1520-1560 alterations, major scheme of repair in the 1950s by the Ministry of Works. MATERIALS: Local red breccia; slate roof; stacks with stone shafts and rhomboidal caps. PLAN: Single-depth 3-room and through-passage plan with passage to left of centre. Hall to right, still open with a C16 first-floor room jettied into it over a spere truss; unheated service room or shop (separate entrance onto street) at the far right end. High quality parlour to the left. First floor consists of a superior room over the parlour, a small unheated C16 chamber above the part-floored hall and a second heated chamber at the right end with garderobe. Rear outshut with C16 gallery over, gallery providing access to 2nd heated first-floor chamber, formerly reached by separate stair. Kitchen consists now of ruinous walls (separately listed) to rear. Superior detail inside suggests a high status user for this house. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical front with 4 windows on the ground floor and 3 on the first. Gabled slate roof with slightly sprocketed eaves. Front door to left of centre with moulded timber-frame, ogee-arched head and a C20 plank and stud door. Tudor style mullioned windows, some preserving moulded lintels, date from the Ministry of Works renovation of the house except the left-hand first-floor window which is an C18 casement with flat-faced mullion. Blocked doorway to right of centre. Rear elevation has timber-framed gallery, reconstructed by Ministry of Works. INTERIOR: Passage retains cobbled floor and wide segmental stone arch to rear doorway chamfered on one side with a pyramid stop. Plank and muntin screens to both sides of the passage; unusually wide shoulder-headed doorway to hall. Hall fireplace, heated from rear lateral stack, has unusual brattished stone mantelshelf. C16 jettied room into hall at lower end is supported on a moulded beam. Parlour has a C15 fireplace; C16 moulded beams. Alcove adjacent to fireplace may represent position of C15 stair. Present C20 stair reached through ogee arched doorway in rear wall. Shoulder-headed doorway from hall to unheated room which has rough carpentry. Hooded fireplaces to both first-floor end chambers. The gallery, a rare survival, is of jointed cruck construction. A remarkable feature of the interior is the provision for domestic piscinas. There were originally 2, one in the hall and one in the parlour with some evidence that they were fed from lead tanks in the outshut. Unfortunately, in 1910 it was decided that there were of ecclesiastical origin and they have been removed, one to the vestry of the parish church of St John the Baptist, the other to the parish church of Goodrington. The one in St John the Baptist has a carved boss surrounding the water pipe. Roof: consists of 2 types of trusses. Some A-frame trusses, the principals with short curved feet. The others, unusual for Devon, have ashlar pieces and sole plates. HISTORY: This is a fine and unusual example of a small-scale but high-quality medieval house with unusually grand provision for eating and washing. There is no documentary evidence to confirm the supposition that it was a priest's house. The repair works on behalf of the Ministry were exemplary of their time. Fine architects' drawings of the 1950s are retained by English Heritage, Properties in Care.

Early C17 or earlier origins, partly remodelled in the later C17 with the roof over the house raised; late C20 renovations. Converted into 3 cottages at one time. MATERIALS: Rendered cob; thatched roof, roof over barn corrugated-asbestos, half hipped at right end, gabled at left end; stacks with rendered shafts. PLAN: Single-depth 3-room plan house with 2 rooms to the left, heated by front lateral stacks and an unheated lower (west) end room which may originally have been a single-storey outshut. Possible position of passage entrance between lower end and centre room. To the left of the house there is a wide cartway through an adjoining barn which preserves a late C16/early C17 roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Picturesque 4-window front, the eaves thatch swept down at the left end over the lower end room. 2 massive projecting front lateral stacks with long set-offs. Doorway to right of centre with slate pentice over as porch hood. Second doorway at left end, dating from the period when the house was divided into cottages, has been knocked through left-hand stack. 4 ground and 3 first floor C20 timber windows, mostly without glazing bars, but some replaced with glazing bars at the right end. Double doorway with sliding internal door to barn to left, loft doorway in left return now glazed. INTERIOR: The barn has the oldest roof: trusses with principals with short curved feet with mortised collars, most of the feet of the principals truncated to rear of the ridge. Some evidence for rear door opposed to front threshing door; loft removed expect for over cartway. Interior of house preserves good quality carpentry in the hall, which has a chamfered step-stopped crossbeam and chamfered stopped joists. Fireplace with stone rubble jambs and new timber lintel, perhaps concealing earlier fireplace behind. The lower end room has rough carpentry and a lower ceiling. Stair projection off rear of hall, stone stair removed and replaced with timber. Roof: Pegged A-frame trusses of a late C17 character with halved collars over the centre and left-hand rooms. The roof over the right-hand room looks later, perhaps late C18 with smaller timbers and butt collar. In the roof space an unusual partition at junction of hall and lower end room - a very plain plank and muntin construction which projects into the roofspace.

1975-01-10 | 1195233 | Parkfield Inlcuding Walls To Walled Garden To North | House, including walls to walled garden. Owned by Torbay Borough Council, disused at time of survey. Probably 1820s in origin with c1860s alterations. MATERIALS: Stuccoed and blocked out; roof partly slate, partly clad in corrugated-asbestos. Stacks with rendered shafts with platbands and some old pots. PLAN: Main range approximately double-depth with garden elevation facing S, entrance on W side into passage, stairs rise to rear, service rooms to rear right (NE) with service yard at E end. The eastern block of the main range is probably 1820s, the western either a later addition or a remodelling. EXTERIOR: 2 and 3 storeys with single-storey service rooms at the right end. Asymmetrical 3:1:2-window garden front. Deep eaves. The garden elevation has 2 gables to the front with a garden door in a set-back block between them; secondary lean-to at right end.

Recessed bay in centre has C19 half-glazed garden door with overlight below a 12-pane sash. The left-hand block has platbands at 2nd-floor level and above the lintels of the 2nd-floor windows, giving a pedimented effect to the shallow gable. 3 ground-floor French windows with moulded stuccoed surrounds and cornices. Lean-to block at right end is set-back with roof hipped to front. Segmental-headed Edwardian timber verandah and early C19 six-panel door. The entrance front, to W, has a 2-window elevation. Deep eaves; eaves band; platband at first-floor sill level. Projecting entrance bay in centre has pedimented gable and segmental-headed pilastered outer dooorway with cornice over.

To left of front door a C19 shallow gabled conservatory with iron cresting on the ridge and below the gable. French window into conservatory; 12-pane sash to first floor. Single-storey block at left end is probably later C19. The rear elevation includes one ogival-headed window to match that on the front. Local red breccia garden walls to walled garden rear (N) of the house. INTERIOR: Very unaltered since about 1900 and incorporating earlier features. Joinery intact throughout, including doors, skirtings, shutters etc Entrance hall with mosaic floor; modillion plaster cornice to entrance and stair hall on both floors. c1860s stair with turned balusters and a ramped wreathed mahogany handrail. Stair window filled with good quality c1900 stained glass. Principal rooms on first and second floors preserve plaster cornices, skirtings and Italian marble and local polished limestone chimney-pieces, mostly c1860s. Dining room at E end of main range refurbished c1900, panelled with timber moulded cornice and serving hatch from service corridor. Smaller first and 2nd-floor rooms preserve C19 moulded timber chimney-pieces. The principal rooms include a rare series of c1900 light fittings and lampshades. Remarkable survival of service rooms, some with flag floors, with fittings and fixtures, including cupbords, sinks with drainers etc Grained paintwork to most of the service rooms and their fittings. The service rooms open off an axial service passage with a back door to the service yard and include, among others, the housekeeper's room; the kitchen complete with a large cast-iron range stamped TL Harding and Sons, Torquay and c1900 storage cupboards. Pantry and dairy also complete, dairy with slate shelves and slatted cupboard. Other unusual survivals are a first-floor bathroom with a boxed cast-iron bath and a lavatory with an early C20 boarded Shanks cistern with a top-mounted flush. HISTORY: This house was the home of Arthur Hyde Dendy, a Birmingham barrister and entrepreneur and one of the principal developers of C19 Paignton. Dendy designed and supervised the construction of the pier, opened and built hotels and theatres, developed land and, in 1883, provided a cycling track which was said to be the best in the country. The corrugated-asbestos on part of the roof is said to be an exceptionally early use of this material (information from Borough Surveyor). The family at Parkfield are said to have been involved in the manufacture of asbestos sheeting. An exceptional house at time of survey, not for the outstanding quality of its interior features, but for the rarity of its completeness, unaltered since c1900.

1951-03-13 | 1195234 | Redcliffe Hotel | House, 1855-65 with an earlier core, for Robert Smith, a retired Indian engineer; contractor, Tozer of Paignton (Tully). Converted to hotel in 1903, contractor Dart and Pollard of Paignton (plaque in entrance hall). Various C20 alterations and additions. Smith's building in Gothick style with Indian influence. MATERIALS: Roughcast with stuccoed detail; roof and stacks of original build concealed by parapets. PLAN: On the sea front. Approximate T-shaped plan. No obvious trace of the pre-1853 house, converted by Smith. Smith's building, although somewhat obcsured by later accretions, consisted of a rotunda facing E out to sea with, according to Pevsner, 3 added wings, for picture gallery, conservatory and billiard room, and servants' quarters. Originally there was a tunnel, destroyed in a storm in 1867, leading to a plunge bath on the beach below. Only the N wing is still identifiable (on the W side) as Smith's building. The W wing was thoroughly recast in c1902 and has been extended W. The S wing has also been altered. The 1986 addition is not included in the listing. EXTERIOR: 3-storey rotunda; 2-storey wings; W wing 3 storeys. East elevation, facing the sea consists of the rotunda with a 4-bay front, flanked by a 5:2 window wing to the left (S) and a 2:6-window front to the right (N). The rotunda has a corbelled parapet with ogival merlons and an inner parapet behind with flattened spear-shaped merlons and seimi-circular embrasures. Rotunda crowned by an octagon with a copper tent roof with ball finial and weathervane. Platband at first-floor level. The east front has a 2-tier canted bay in the centre and to the left; single-storey canted bays to left and right of centre. Ground floor has round-headed windows (C20 glazing with timber bars) in ogival frames with curly ogee hoodmoulds with a star at the apex. Canted bays have plain parapets. Recessed crosses in the front wall contain painted reliefs of thistles and apples in roundels. First-floor windows similar with spear motifs at the apex of the hoodmoulds. Central canted bay has a cast-iron balcony on brackets with diagonal braces and central decorated roundels. Parapet may originally have been decorated with pineapples (these survive on the left-hand bay window). Wall between windows decorated with Maltese crosses. 2nd-floor windows smaller but simialr: wall surface decorated with shields. Parapet on moulded corbels, the merlons decorated with incised crosses. To left of rotunda, a flight of curving steps up to a first-floor entrance. The left-hand wing, with a plain parapet, is in a stripped down version of the style. The right-hand wing appears to be completely C20 on the seaward front, but to the rear (W) there is a 5-bay elevation that is obviously Smith's with a parapet with ogival merlons and 2 octagonal turrets at the N end with spear-shaped battlementing. Ground-floor windows with ogival hoodmoulds and first-floor windows with shallow roughcast architraves with imitation keyblocks. The 3-storey and attic W wing has a mansard roof; coved eaves: ogee-headed attic dormer and windows with fancy stuccoed architraves of a flame-like design. The N side has seven 2nd-floor oriels on curly ogival arches with pendants. Unsuitable late C20 hotel porch across angle between rotunda and W wing. INTERIOR: Partially inspected. The ground-floor room in the rotunda retains its original plaster cornices and ceiling roses, quite delicate but of conventional design. First-floor room above said to retain similar detail. Original fireplaces may be concealed behind later plaster. c1903 stair with carved figures rising above the hand rail. Other features of interest may survive elsewhere. HISTORY: Smith died in 1873. In 1877 the house was bought by Paris Singer (Oldway Mansion qv). In 1902 it was sold and altered as a hotel. The West Country Studies Library, Exeter, holds a printed souvenir of the hotel, c1910, which records that decoration was by Coverdale and Co. of No.15, Palace Avenue, Paignton . Photographs show symmetrical low wings flanking the main block. Although very altered on the margins, the central core of the building is particularly interesting for its unusual design and details and the building makes an important contribution to the sea front at this end of Paignton. (Hotel Redcliffe, Souvenir and Tariff: 1910-; Tully P: Peter Tully's Pictures of Paignton, Part II: 1992-: 17). Listing NGR: SX8948761333 | 383834 | 1951-03-13 | |||||||||

Walls to Bishop's Palace including corner tower. Probably C14. MATERIALS: Local red breccia; tower roofed with lead. PLAN: Tall walls surround the precinct which is now occupied by the vicarage and its gardens. An internal corner tower occupies the SE corner of the enclosure. The Tower Road elevation of the wall has a section of rebuilding incorporating a 2-centred arched doorway. EXTERIOR: Walls are tall with coped merlons with embrasures, some slits, and pudlock holes. The 4-stage tapering tower has an embattled parapet above a moulded string. On the face fronting Bishop's Place is a small 2-centred doorway, the first stage has a 2-light window with ogival heads to the lights. The 2nd-floor window has 2 trefoil-headed lights below a blind plate. Similar windows to other elevations. West face, inside the vicar's garden, has a 2-centred doorway. INTERIOR: All the floors and the stair appear to be C20. Segmental-arched joists support a lead covering to the roof.

In the C19 it was owned by a Colonel Ridgway, who exposed the foundations of old buildings - numerous coins and other interesting objects were found during the excavation of the ground (Couldrey). The site inside the enclosure is obviously of considerable archaeological interest.

1991-02-20 | 1208209 | Torbay Cinema | Cinema. Licensed and officially opened 1912, but actually opened previously (Soundy-Bennett). Probably designed by Hyams and Hodgen of Paignton (documentation); contractor Percy Drewe of Paignton. Free Baroque style with Art Nouveau decorative details. MATERIALS: Flemish bond N Staffordshire brick with iron reinforcment, freestone dressings; slate roof concealed behind parapet. PLAN: Facing onto Torbay Road. Deep rectangular plan with an internal balcony. EXTERIOR: 3-storey 3-bay front. Centre bay canted inwards with pedimented gable projecting on very deep brackets. Bay flanked by wide pilaster strips with Ionic capitals some distance below eaves level; first floor bow window to foyer. Very deep moulded stone eaves cornice on modillion brackets with parapet above to outer bays. Platband above second floor windows of outer bays linked to central transom of bowed foyer window. Spectacular Art Nouveau doorway to lower foyer. Round-headed varnished timber architrave with triple egg moulding. Transom with 4-light fanlight above, made up of panes of bevelled glass. 2-leaf doors, glazed with bevelled panes, the outer bottom corners of each leaf infilled with varnished timber spandrels giving an overall oval shape to the entrance. Fine sinuous timber door handles fixed to copper plate. Doorway has steps up, divided by probably original brass and timber hand-rail, upper step mosaic Deep canopy across front and over doorway (not part of the original design) is supported on 2 slender reeded cast-iron columns. First-floor stone-mullioned and transomed 5-light foyer window above with 3 transoms, glazed with Art Nouveau stained glass. 3-light stone mullioned windows to outer bays, the first floor windows transomed. Windows in the same style to one bay of the returns. INTERIOR: The foyer on the ground floor has been somewhat altered but the original stairs to the upper foyer are intact with plain, closely-spaced varnished splat balusters with Art Nouveau motifs. Stained glass decorates the window of the upper foyer. In the auditorium the proscenium arch and the orchestra pit of a 21-piece orchestra have been altered; otherwise the interior is remarkably well-preserved. The auditorium has a 6-bay barrel ceiling with ribs supported on corbels which are decorated with heads in relief of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Junior, the latter in the headgear of Moses - heads said to have been added to the original design. Ceiling decorated with mouldings of fruit and foliage. Original Art Deco-style wall lights made at a local smith's shop (Mann). The pastel colours of the wall and ceiling decoration are said to have been unchanged since the cinema opened. Grilles on long walls from the original and unusually early air-conditioning system which filtered air through a plenum plant. System (except coal-fired boiler) said to be intact. Curved balcony frontal, recessed in the centre with original decoration. Private boxes at the rear of the balcony are still in use. Tip-up seats, reduced in number and re-arranged for smaller audiences, are said to be original but re-upholstered. Roof said to be iron A-frame trusses. HISTORY: A hotel on the site was demolished to make way for the cinema. The precise date at which it opened is unclear, in spite of a remarkable archive of documentation in the hands of the present owners. A request for a licence is said to have been made to the Local Authority as early as 1907 (Mann). The Paignton Picture House Co. (whose directors included Farrance Gillie), who ran the cinema (previously known as the Paignton Electric Picture Palace) and a film library, renting out film to other organisations, was incorporated on 15 April 1913. Agatha Christie was a regular user when she was living in Dartmouth (Mann) and the cinema is said to be the model for the 'Gaiety' cinema in her fiction. Paris Singer, who remodelled Oldway Mansion (qv) is said to have visited with Isadora Duncan: documentation shows that Singer sold the cinema company a grand piano. Atwell's book lists (without claiming to be comprehensive) 8 cinemas purpose-built before 1912 as being still in use, with 7 others converted to other uses. The earliest is the Electric, Portabello Road, 1907. An extremely well-preserved example of an early purpose-built cinema with an important archive of documentation.

1951-05-12 | 1195207 | Oldway Mansion | Large house, now in use as Borough Council offices. 1873 to the designs of GS Bridgman for Isaac Singer, founder of the sewing machine company. Contractor J Matcham of Plymouth, design partly undertaken by Isaac Singer himself. House thoroughly remodelled 1904-1907 for Singer's son, Paris, architect unknown to date. MATERIALS: Stuccoed; roof concealed behind parapets except lead-covered lantern. Probably 1870s stacks with yellow brick shafts, stone bands and pots. 1904-1907 build said to include a large proportion of concrete construction. Original build in French Renaissance style. Remodelling, with elevations described as in Pevsner as stunningly bombastic based on various French precedents, including Versailles. PLAN: The existing plan makes use of the outlines of Bridgman's double-depth arrangement (demolishing a private theatre on the east side), but the early C20 work cut a massive open well, top-lit stair hall for an imperial stair down from the former ground floor to the former basement, which is the level of the present main entrance on the N side facing onto the courtyard. The stair leads up to ballroom on the east side. Other principal rooms face south, overlooking the formal gardens laid out by Duchesne with a study on the N side (now the mayor's parlour). On the west side of the stair hall, at the old ground floor level, a gallery based on the hall of mirrors at Versailles, with stair off to the former first-floor rooms. The position of the early C20 service rooms is unclear, they were probably sited below the east range. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys except south elevation, which is 2 storeys. All elevations remodelled in 1904-1907 except the W, which retains Bridgeman's facade. Entrance (N) elevation 13 bays, the centre 3 broken forard and pedimented, the 2 narrow bays flanking the centre slightly broken forward.

1993-10-25 | 1195224 | Cider Barn At Higher Yalberton Farm | Cider barn belonging to Higher Yalberton Farmhouse, Yalbarton Road, (qv). Early C19. Local grey limestone rubble; corrugated-iron roof half hipped at W end. PLAN: L-plan building with a long range for storing cider barrels and a cross-wing at the east end to accommodate the machinery, now worked off a tractor which operates in an outshut at the E end. Apple juice is delivered from the press into a tank under the floor, sited in the wing. The slope of the land allows loft level access to the wing from the orchard to the S for tipping apples into the press. Rear outshut, (entirely clad with corrugated-iron) to the storage section, incoporating extra storage for barrels and tanks. EXTERIOR: Main block lofted, wing single-storey to accommodate the height of the press. Long 4-window N front. The wing, to the E, is slightly broken forward with wide paired doors under a timber lintel. The main block has regular fenstration of 4 ground and 4 first-floor 2-light timber mullioned windows with bead-moulded mullions, diagonally-set iron stanchions and internal shutters. Ground-floor windows have red breccia voissoirs, first-floor windows have timber lintels. The right end has paired doors below a loft door, the left end has has a large, low window into the tractor outshut. INTERIOR: The lofted storage section is divided into aisles with bays by timber posts which are notched to support longitudinal timbers.

The wing, with 4 similar trusses, contains the press. Apples are put into a hopper from a platform from the S door. The apples are pressed in layers divided by coarse material. HISTORY: The barn serves 6 orchards. Paignton was well-known for cider production in the early C19. Yalberton and Higher Yalberton Farms, both producing cider, are the chief survivals of this industry. This purpose-built cider barn is of especial local interest, but is also a rare survival in Devon, both larger and more mechanised than usual.

The hall retains one stop-chamfered cross beam, exposed joists in the lower end room to the west. Hall fireplace blocked at present, but may preserve early lintel and jambs and flanked by blocked wide-splayed window to its left and wide-splay window to its right with some panelling. Lower end room fireplace also blocked; exposed joists replaced after fire by oak replacements in 1998. Truncated cruck truss, cut off above the mortised collar, across position of through purlin, visible in roofspace, the cruck visible in one first-floor room on north (front) side, west of hall stack and partitioned from it. The existing thatched roof is probably late C17 (possibly C18) with eleven pegged A-frames with butt collars, one with a tie beam into which are pegged uprights for partition below; the cruck sits centrally within a bay, no A-frame is attached to it. Ceiling above hall is lower than that to west. Each slope supports 8-9 purlins/thatching battens notched into the frames. Elsewhere the front elevation has been stepped out, the lower 2 purlins on each frame have been removed and a subsidiary rafter, or sprocket, attached to the top surface of the frame beneath the thatch. The easternmost bay of the roof space is roofed in slate and accommodates a second A-frame with rafters above principal purlins. An internal gable-chimney stack divides the main block internally from the extension; 2 A-frame frames to the eastern end gable lie beyond (not accessible).

Early C16 in origin, alterations of the late C16/early C17 and of c1730; late C20 repairs and alterations. Plastered cob; thatched roof, half-hipped at left end, hipped at right end; axial stack with plastered shaft to right of centre, right-end stack. PLAN: Originally a 3-room and through-passage open hall house, 2-room plan higher end to the left, consisting of an open hall and a floored inner room; lower end to the right, possibly unheated. In the late C16/early C17 the hall was floored. In c1730 the lower end was altered as a smart parlour with rear right corner fireplace. This end of the house was re-roofed. A small rear right wing at right-angles may have been added at the same time. Rear outshut behind higher end is probably late C18 in date and may have functioned as a dairy. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front, the eaves thatch eyebrowed over 2 first-floor 2-light casements, 6 panes per light. Shallow projecting porch to through passage has a lean-to slate roof on cheeks; late C20 vernacular style plank door. Ground-floor window left is a 3-light casement, 6 panes per light, ground-floor window right is a 2-light casement, 3 panes per light.

Heavily-sooted infill to closed truss between hall and inner room. The late C16/early C17 phase includes the inserted hall fireplace, stack backing onto the passage, with a timber lintel and stone jambs. Chamfered cross beams with step stops to hall and inner room, partition between hall and inner room missing. Part of a plank and muntin screen between passage and lower end survives. The c1730s phase is evident in a 2-panel door, corner cupboard and angle fireplace to the lower end room, which was a parlour at this date, one 2-panel door on first floor. Roof over lower end not seen on survey but said to the C18 in character Late C20 stair rises from passage, replacing earlier newel. A good example of an evolved house of late medieval origins in an area of the county mostly developed in the C19. Listing NGR: SX9092567189 | 390608 | 1975-01-10 | |||||||||

1986-03-26 | 1292920 | Hennapyn Road Bridge Immediately South Of Torquay Station | Road bridge over railway line. Probably 1892. Limestone abutments, snecked and rock-faced with ashlar quoins and stringcourse; cast-iron bridge and parapet balustrade. Single-span bridge with segmental arched cast-iron girders, 9 set parallel closely together, the outer girders having fielded-panel, recessed spandrels. The fine cast-iron balustrade above has large acanthus leaves, interlacing and small cast-iron posts at the junction of each of the 3 panels, and a cast-iron torus-moulded string below which continues in stone in the abutments, which have piers with a pronounced batter and pyramid caps. The abutments have parapets with terminal piers with similar caps. The railway line from Newton Abbot to Torquay was built by the South Devon Railway Company in 1848 but only reached Torre Station Newton Road, (qv). The line was extended to Paignton in 1859 when Torquay Station was opened. In 1876 the South Devon Railway was taken over by the Great Western Railway, who built Torquay Station, Rathmore Road (qv) in 1878. This bridge was probably built in 1892 when the track was widened.

1952-11-20 | 1206789 | Ilsham Manor Oratory | Premonstratensian oratory. C15 or earlier. Local grey limestone rubble with Beerstone dressings; gabled slate roof. PLAN: 3-stage tower with undercroft; first-floor oratory and probably second-floor chamber originally with ladder access from the oratory. EXTERIOR: 3 stages. South-east side has a ground-floor doorway to the undercroft to the left: modern lintel, shoulder-headed frame and door. To the right a flight of external stone steps leads up to the oratory door which has a timber lintel and a probably C15 recessed shoulder-headed pegged oak doorframe and C20 plank door. Shadow of gable above door may indicate former porch hood or, alternatively, abutting building. Small round-headed slit window above to the right lights chamber over oratory. Crude segmental-headed bellcote on gable. Left return has two 1-light windows, one to ground floor and one to second floor room. Arched second-floor window has remains of decayed, cusped tracery and a hoodmould, ground-floor window similar, without a hoodmould. Right return has similar second-floor window; one chamfered round-headed slit window to the oratory stage and a chamfered slit to the undercroft. The north-west face has a good Perpendicular 2-light window with a relieving arch, moulded frame, mullion and hoodmould and trefoil-headed cusped lights. Round-headed slit window to right. Smaller chamber window above, very decayed but formerly trefoil-headed with a square-headed hoodmould, flanked by small round-headed slit windows. INTERIOR: Undercroft not seen. Oratory has late C19 or C20 roof and splayed, hollow-chamfered segmental-headed reveals to the larger windows. Roof of oratory missing except for one chamfered crossbeam. HISTORY: Lands in Ilsham were given to the Premonstratensian Abbey of Torre in c1200 (Ellis) or 1489 (Pevsner). In the late C19 the tower stood surrounded by farmbuildings (the remnants of some still survive), with the manor house to its south-west. The Premonstratensian order was required to establish the building of oratories at their granges by Pope Gregory IX for individual members as places of retirement and a chapel at Higher Alfardisworthy, near Bradworthy, is said to be similar in function. Ellis includes late C19 drawings and photographs of the building.

1988-12-19 | 1292275 | The Manor House (Rnib) | House, now training centre. 1862-4 and c1890 by JR Rowell for Sir Lawrence Palk. Random coursed limestone with stone dressings and slate roofs. Large semi-rural house in restrained Gothic style. PLAN: Rectangular block disposed round central stair hall, kitchen and stable court to north west, billiard room added to north-east corner c1890. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics to the main block, 2 storeys to the wing. The main elevation to the garden is on the south side and comprises five bays, each of 2-and-a-half storeys with the central bays recessed. There are 2- and 3-light stone mullioned windows with vertical sashes and those on the ground floor have transoms. Above the lintels are stone relieving arches. The dormer gables have decorative bargeboards with cross braces. The right-hand bay is half-hipped with bargeboards with a 3-light oriel window at first floor upon a supporting buttress with ballflower and zig-zag decorated oversailing courses. At ground floor level there are two pointed-arch windows. At the south-west corner there is an angled porte-cochere. This is a high single-storey structure with plate tracery, balustrading and coats of arms. The angled buttresses support octagonal finials above at each corner and there are two lights within a semicircular relieving arch on the south-west wall. The segmental-pointed carriage arches are in polychrome stonework and the one to the garden side has at sometime been boarded up. There is a patterned marble floor and encaustic tiling in the vestibule. The billiard room (now dining room) appears to have been added at the north-east corner in c1890. This has an attractive stone mullion and transomed corner window with an octagonal spire above at the south-eastern corner. To the rear of the main house is a range of stables and coach houses. The main elevation is of coursed rubble limestone with dressed stone quoins and window details. It is of 7 bays of 1-and-a-half storeys height with a central 2-storey gabled clock tower with bell-cote over the carriage entrance. INTERIOR: The main entrance hall is a high 2-storey space with a gallery around the first floor. An imperial staircase with a 5-light stained glass window at the landing contains the coats of arms of the family. There is an ornamental stone fireplace with a French Gothic hood to the ground floor of the hall and similar fireplaces and overmantels exist in the other principal ground-floor rooms, several being of an elaborate Jacobean character. The dining room (former billiard room) at the rear has an interesting barrel-vaulted ceiling with a full-height hood over the fireplace in the eastern gable wall. The original joinery and plasterwork is almost complete throughout the house. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Palk family were responsible for much of the early development of Torquay during the first part of the 19th century, particularly the Lincombe and Warberry areas. Sir Lawrence was a major benefactor to the town and later became Baron Haldon of Haldon in April 1880. He died in 1883. The house also has associations with Sir Francis Layland-Barratt who purchased the manor in 1906. The manor is now the centre for the Royal National Institution for the Blind and is used as their national rehabilitation centre. A number of alterations have been made to facilitate the use of the building for this purpose, but these are of a minor nature and it remains a remarkably unaltered example of a large Victorian family house. (Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Devon: London: 1952-1989: P.860). Listing NGR: SX9310963369 | 390711 | 1988-12-19 | |||||||||

1975-01-10 | 1218053 | Clifton Cottages And Stone Walls To East | Barn, extended and altered as carriage house at one end, now converted into cottages. Difficult to date from surviving details but probably late C15 or C16 in origin; late C19 carriage house conversion, C20 conversion into cottages. Painted stone rubble barn, rear wall rendered; slate gabled roof; carriage house stone rubble with brick dressings; brick stacks. PLAN: A large rectangular barn with the remnants of a midstrey porch and no evidence of opposed rear entrance. The conversions have taken place within the old walls but with an extension at the left (south) end. EXTERIOR: Very altered. 2 storeys. 4:3 window front. The north end of the barn preserves a massive central buttress with a set-off; rear (west) elevation has 5 buttresses with set-offs. The front of Manor Barn Cottage retains the remnants of the midstrey: stone cheeks with a lean-to slate roof. Numerous modern openings, including roof lights, in the barn roof. Nos 1 and 2 Clifton Cottages preserve the character of the carriage house including the doorway, and has a higher-roofed addition at the left end. INTERIOR: Manor Barn Cottage inspected. No evidence of an early roof seen on survey. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: tall stone rubble walls, probably coeval with the barn, around the east side gardens. HISTORY: Although very altered this represents a fragment of pre-C19 Torquay. Torwood Grange was owned by Torre Abbey until 1540 when it was granted to John Ridgeway and Sir Thomas Denys. The manor house was pulled down in 1843 by the Harvey brothers when the site was developed with villas. Ellis includes a reproduction of the Reverend John Swete's c1780 sketch of the barn and its relationship to the manor house, p.263. (Ellis AC: An Historical Survey of Torquay: 1930-: PP.254-266).

EXTERIOR: Tower terrace has a medieval-inspired gatehouse with a portcullis, machicolations and arrow loops. The flight of steps through the gatehouse archway rises to the next terrace, which has an ornamented wall and a fountain in the form of a nicely-stylised dragon gargoyle, cast in lead. The terrace above has a round tower overlooking the gatehouse below, with a similar dragon gargoyle. This level is the main terrace and the linear pond and circular garden at the end are keyhole-shaped on plan. The long canal-like pond with stepping stones across, is overlooked by an orangery with a Tuscan colonnade and flanking niches. At the end of the pond is a complicated flight of steps to the next terrace. At the other end of the terrace an arched opening in the retaining wall leads to stairs in a shaft which rises to the terrace above. At this level there is a small formal sunken garden with pergolas supported on Tuscan columns. The sunken garden is situated beside the contemporary house (Castle Tor), which is not included in the listing. On the other side of the house a flight of steps rises to the top level through a series of circular arches which frame a vista down to the sea. There are only vestiges of the original planting including some of the topiary and box hedges but the structures are completely intact including the decorative wrought-iron railings at the lower boundary with Lincombe Drive.

1972-02-14 | 1206830 | Church Of Our Lady Help Of Christians And St Denis | MATERIALS: rock-faced local grey limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and freestone dressings, under slate roofs. PLAN: the church is aligned north-east (ritual east) to south-west. The east end is apsidal; the chancel is of three bays, and the nave of seven; at the west end is a square tower flanked by the baptistery and Lady Chapel. EXTERIOR: the principal elevation is the north-west side. The chancel is partly concealed by the adjoining presbytery; it has three gables above three rounded clerestorey windows. The nave has 13 spherical, triangular-traceried clerestorey windows above a lean-to buttressed aisle with two-light, Decorated-traceried windows with hoodmoulds. The gabled priest's porch at the east end of aisle has diagonal buttresses. The principal porch is in the sixth bay; it has diagonal buttresses and a moulded-arched doorway with engaged columns. The tower is in three stages, with a spire; it has set-back buttresses with statue niches and tall belfry windows. The imposing west-end includes a richly-moulded gabled west end doorway with recessed door, and engaged Early English shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. There is a sexafoil window in the tympanum over door; there is statue niche in the gable. The five-light Geometric Decorated west window has four gabled statue niches below the sill. INTERIOR: the nave arcades have piers which are quatrefoil on plan, with naturalistic foliage-carved capitals, all different, and double-chamfered arches. The arch-braced nave roof is carried on moulded corbels; the lean-to aisle roof has moulded ribs and plastered panels, and carved and moulded corbels. The south arcade is lower than the north, with a flat roof on timber brackets, windowed with paired lancets; above is the Early English style triforium, whose arcades of paired pointed-arched openings have pierced parapets with quatrefoil motifs. The sanctuary has a doorway to the south leading to the former nuns’ choir, and on the north side, the nuns’ altar, dedicated to St Dominic, with figurative altar front, gabled statue niche and crocketed pinnacles to the reredos. The sanctuary walls are articulated by three stages of blind Early English arcading, with crocketed gables and cornices. The sanctuary has a timber vaulted roof on stone shafts. At the eastern end of each aisle is an altar, that to the north to St Joseph, to the south, the Sacred Heart. Nave and aisles have original pews, not fixed. Off the south aisle is a series of confessionals, one with a fireplace, with original part-glazed timber doors. At the west end of the south aisle, separated from the nave by an arcade of two Early English columns and a stone screen, is the Lady Chapel, which rises through two storeys. Off the west end of the north aisle is the octagonal baptistery, full-height, with a vaulted ceiling with moulded ribs springing from foliate capitals on attached shafts. The base of the tower is supported on four columns, with two rows of three subsidiary columns between, supporting stone vaulting, with geometric foliate carved decoration to its flat surfaces, and a stone balustrade to the organ loft above. A doorway in the south aisle gives access to the stair to the triforium, and the organ lofts of the church and the nuns’ choir. The nuns’ choir retains its seating, and timber gallery with blind arcading and rails to the organ loft. PRINCIPAL FITTINGS: the church retains a very complete set of lavish stone fittings, mostly designed by Joseph Hansom and contemporary with the building of the church. The sanctuary includes a richly-carved REREDOS with crocketed pinnacles, stepped gables and statue niches with images of Our Lady and St Denis; the High Altar is carved with the Last Supper. The subsidiary altars and the Lady Chapel also have carved reredoses and statuary. The PULPIT is a stone drum design, richly-carved with piercing and geometric details, and variously-coloured marble shafts. The ALTAR RAILS are brightly-coloured painted metal, with floral and foliate motifs and extensive scrolling. The FONT, 1881 by Joseph S Hansom, is sexafoil, of red marble on six stocky shafts with carved inscriptions. STAINED GLASS includes east and west windows by the Hardman Company.

On the west side, a long range containing offices, entrance, ticket office etc, with a canopy on the outside over the pavement and a deeper canopy on 11 columns, the last 2 paired under the footbridge. These are signed Vernon & Ewens, engineers, Cheltenham. There is a similar range on the opposite side of the line, but of shorter length, its platform canopy continues beyond the north end but stops short of the south end. At the south end of each range there is a stair tower rising to a covered footbridge over the line. The east range has 4 pavilion roofs where the facade facing the forecourt breaks forward at intervals; the roofs have decorative iron cresting, that at the south end has a clerestory roof against the stair tower behind.

The deeper canopy over the platform has a continuous rooflight over cast-iron 4-centred-arched trusses with entwined foliage spandrels supported on slender fluted cast-iron columns; the canopy is cantilevered out towards the line on similarly decorated brackets and has a fretted and pierced wooden fascia. The canopy was extended in early C20 under the bridge and beyond the south end, and both platform canopies were extended at the north end in 1912. The west range and its canopies are similar but shorter. The 2 stair towers at the south end are linked by a covered lattice iron girder footbridge over the line, its superstructure is timber and glazed. HISTORY: The railway line from Newton Abbot to Torquay was built by the South Devon Railway Company in 1848 but only reached Torre station, Newton Road (qv). The line was extended to Paignton in 1859 when Torquay Station was opened. In 1876 the South Devon Railway was taken over by the Great Western Railway who built this station in 1878 to replace the 1859 station. Listing NGR: SX9054163493 | 390766 | 1986-03-26 | |||||||||

1952-11-20 | 1206852 | Torre Abbey | Premonstratensian Abbey. Founded 1196, converted to a house in 1598 with progressive remodellings of the late C17, C18 and early C20. Local grey limestone and red sandstone rubble; partly rendered; stacks with stone or brick shafts. PLAN: Courtyard plan. Ruins of Abbey church to the N; chapter house and first-floor dormitory in E range with covered cloister on W side. W range originally guest hall and private apartments, guest hall partly converted to RC chapel in 1779. S range originally refectory over cellar with SW wing adjoining.

1952-11-20 | 1280012 | The Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey | Monastic barn. Date uncertain. Masonry could be as early as C13. Present roof construction appears to be largely late C15, although thoroughly repaired in the 1930s, but may be a replacement of an earlier roof. Local red sandstone and grey limestone rubble; slate roof gabled at ends. PLAN: Sited south-west of the C14 gatehouse, on an approximately west-east axis. 16 bays with opposed porches in the centre bay. EXTERIOR: Impressively large with 10 buttresses with batters to each side and 3 at each end, the centre buttresses at each end taller. Gabled porches, each with buttresses flush with the front wall. Coped gables to main block and porches, which have flattened tops. Porches have large segmental-headed doorways and sections of alternating red sandstone and white freestone quoins. The north side has small arched doorways between buttresses 3 and 4 and 7 and 8 (counting from the east), the eastern doorway has an opposed doorway on the south side. 4 slit breathers to each long side, deeply splayed on their internal faces. The north porch has a small segmental-headed doorway on the east return, the south porch has similar doorways on both returns. East end has 3 slit breathers, west end has 2. Plank doors with strap hinges and door furniture of an C18 character. INTERIOR: Loft removed in the 1930s, the slots for the beam ends survive, high in the walls. 17 arch-braced trusses, the end trusses close to the end walls. Peculiar method of seating trusses onto wall tops, possibly dating from the 1930s. The principal rafters sit on the wall tops. Towards the front face of the wall, a wallplate, flush with the top of the wall and its front, into which the feet of the arch braces are fixed. The wall-plate appears to be entirely renewed or perhaps a new 1930s design. The trusses are bound with iron straps. 4 tiers of threaded purlins; ridge-piece (the latter possibly 1930s); some original rafters. The inner opening of each porch is spanned by a chamfered, step-stopped lintel. On the north side, 2 stone corbels are visible in the masonry below the existing lintel. 1930s black and red clay tile floor includes inscription dating the barn to the C12 and recording that it was used to house prisoners in 1588 when the Nuestra Senora del Rosano, one of the vessels of the Spanish Armada and the flagship of the Andalusian Squadron was captured by Drake and brought ashore. Possibly the earliest surviving barn in Devon. The curator of Torre Abbey has photographs of the barn prior to the removal of the loft in the 1930s and showing that the existing roof is a repair, not a 'reconstruction' (Pevsner) of the pre-1930s roof.

The right end stack is shown with a tall octagonal stone shaft. The collection of tolls was eventually transferred to a toll-house at the end of King's Drive, to avoid the irritation of an interrupted drive along this picturesque road.

Each house has a principal and service entrance from the road; service quarters making up the rear (road) part of one side. Suite of rooms off half-landing of stair provides 4 rooms at this level with an additional 3 or 4 on the first floor. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Typical road elevation is 3 bays, broken forward and gabled to the front in the centre. Left and right pilasters; moulded cornice below parapet; platband below cornice. Segmental-headed central doorway with moulded architrave and recessed front door (with fanlight) mostly panelled (some half-glazed). Floating cornice on consoles over front door.

1997-07-10 | 1119691 | Battery Observation Post Battery Gardens | Battery Observation Post. 1940. Reinforced concrete. Two-storey building, with steps down to balcony at first-floor level, entered from NW side; cantilevered roof over balcony, which views out to sea (NE); entrance to ground floor immediately below, with the wide opening beneath balcony. The Battery Observation Post is set into the cliff so that its flat roof is level with the road (North Furzeham Road). High precision range finders were housed in the upper storey, which acted as the centre of communications with the searchlights positions and guns. A Bar and Stroud range finder was housed in the lower part of the building. This building formed the operational focal point of the Emergency Coastal Defence Battery here, which was one of many erected in 1940 to provide additional protection to harbour installations. It survives in a remarkable state of preservation, with searchlight and gun positions. Listing NGR: SX9213756858 | 469188 | 1997-07-10 | |||||||||

2000-06-05 | 1382072 | D-Day Embarkation Slipways And Adjoining Section Of Quay Wall | 2 slipways and adjoining section of quay wall. 1943. Reinforced concrete. The 2 slipways consist of square columns supporting principal beams, running parallel to the face of the quay, which in turn support secondary beams running out from the quay wall down the slope perpendicular to the quay. The decking running down from the wall to the water consists of pre-cast slabs laid perpendicular to the line of the quay supported on both the primary and secondary beams. The section of the wall between the slipways has a mooring post. HISTORY. These slipways were constructed running out from the quay wall as part of Operation Overlord, the springboard for the Allied invasion of German-occupied Europe, by Royal Engineers, 931 Port Construction and Repair Company and were completed on 28/5/1943. The American troops of 4th Division of 7 Corps used the slipways to embark for the crossing to 'Utah' beach in Normandy for the D-Day landings. From a string of such embarkation sites between 6 June and 30 June 1944 over 850,000 men were landed on the invasion beach-heads, together with nearly 150,000 vehicles and 570,000 tons of supplies. Extremely rare survivals, these slipways are possibly the best-surviving example of D-Day fabric in the country and form part of a significant group of listed structures.
