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.

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. Ground floor with chanelled rustication and recessed 2-light windows with keyblocks. Modest entrance of triple doorways in centre 3 bays. First and 2nd-floor bays divided by giant Ionic pilasters with entablature and dentil cornice below balustraded parapet. Centre 3 bays with distyle Ionic columns in antis, pediment above entablature filled with a winged shield drooping over the cornice. First-floor windows in outer bays with moulded architraves and tall French windows onto individual cast-iron balconies between the pilasters. 2nd floor windows in outer bays tall 2-light casements, 4 panes per light with moulded architraves, sill blocks and swags of cloth carved in relief under the sills. Narrow bays flanking the centre 3 have first-floor one-light transomed windows and round-headed one-light second-floor windows. Centre 3 bays have first-floor round-headed French windows with pilastered architraves with stucco mouldings and swags of cloth over the arches. Windows glazed with small panes with spoke glazing bars and open onto cast-iron balcony. Above the French windows 3 blind oculi decorated with festoons of husk ornament. The 8-bay east elevation also has a ground-floor loggia of small square-headed openings with keyblocks, walls decorated with chanelled rustication. Above this a gaint colonnade of Ionic columns with entablature and moulded cornice, creating a loggia with coffered moulded ceiling and balustrade in front of the ballroom. The bays to the wall behind the loggia are divided by giant pilasters, windows and details similar to N elevation. Life-size statue groups on the roof at left- and right-ends. 9-bay 2-storey S elevation plus 3-bay single-storey canted pavilions at either end. Ground floor with chanelled rustication, centre 3 bays slightly broken forward and pedimented. Cornice at first-floor level; balustraded parapet to main block and pavilions. Central garden doorway to main block and to each pavilion with moulded architrave and keyblock, with small-pane French windows with fanlights with spoke glazing bars; similar window onto first-floor centre cast-iron balcony. Other ground-floor windows with moulded architraves and keyblocks, glazed with 2-light small-pane casements; similar first-floor windows with individual cast-iron balconies and carved panels over the lintels depicting Cupid at play. Narrower bays flanking the centre with blind panels roundels and niches with husk and flower festoons and swags of drapery. Pediment filled with classical female nude, perhaps Venus, leaning on an amphora and looking at an owl. 2:3:3-bay yellow Flemish bond brick W elevation to Bridgman's designs with a corbelled cornice, moulded tile relief and bowed balconies. Triple window lights stair, attractive tiled panel below stair window. INTERIOR: Mostly dating from the 1904-1907 phase, but retaining some of the 1870s features, particularly on the top floor. Remarkable 1904-1907 stair hall, said to be based on Lebrun's (unexecuted) designs for the stair at Versailles for Louis XIV. Mosaic floor; imperial stair with marble and bronze balustrades. 3-sided gallery on round-headed marble arcading at the old basement level, the east side of the stair hall was designed to take JL David's painting showing Napoleon crowning Josephine (returned to France in 1946 and now hanging in Versailles). The west side has an Ionic screen of paired, painted marble columns into the hall of mirrors. The north and south sides have paired gilded doors with elaborate overdoors and tall marble pilasters flanking statue niches containing sculpted headless torsos with armour and helmets. Spectacular painted ceiling above enriched cornice with trompe d'oeil paintings of allegorical classical figures. The ballroom, to the east, has a sprung woodblock floor and probably original light fittings. It is lined with fixed mirrors with gilded surrounds and decoration of flaming torches and musical instruments. The north end has a coloured Italian marble chimney-piece with original integral fireback and cast-iron surround. Above the chimney-piece gilded side panels with an elaborate swan-necked pediment with the Bourbon crest create a frame for a 1717 painting of Loius of Bourbon, Prince of Asturias. Flanking the chimney-piece, paired doors below bow-fronted galleries. White Italian marble chimney-piece on the west wall has a large mirror over and glazed doors to left and right below classical panels carved in relief. 2 paired doors from the stair gallery have overdoors with integral trompe d'oeil flower paintings. The hall of mirrors is lined with round-headed mirrors in marble architraves and contains an C18 white marble statue of a woman playing a pipe as well as 2 Greek style candlesticks. The study, now the mayor's parlour, to the north, has full-height fluted oak Corinthian columns flanking paired doors with carved round-headed overdoors and relief sculpture above. Suite of rooms on south side also retains original chimney-pieces (some from Bridgman's phase), mirrors, elaborate plaster cornices etc Bridgman stair with balustrade of cast-iron panels and ramped handrail rises from the hall of mirrors to the upper floor, which also retains plasterwork and chimney-pieces, although now re-partitioned for office use. Numerous features of interest, including statuary from the 1904-1907 phase survives, but are not mentioned individually here. HISTORY: Isaac Singer's drawings for the Bridgman phase survive and are owned by the Borough Council. A small museum in the entrance hall contains numerous photographs and documents relating to the history of the house, including photographs of Bridgman's building. Paris Singer is said to have obtained permission to scaffold the Galerie des Glaces at Versailles to examine the Lebrun colour scheme there as a model for the stair hall at Oldway. The Singer family had a major impact on the development of Paignton and bought and developed land in the town. Paris Singer had an affair with Isadora Duncan, who s | 1951-05-12 | 1951-05-12 | ||||

Built to the designs of WG Couldrey of Paignton, contractor Messrs Drewe of Paignton. Early English style. MATERIALS: Local red snecked breccia on a rusticated breccia plinth; Bathstone and local grey limestone dressings; slate roof with pierced ridge tiles; cast-iron rainwater goods. PLAN: Chancel with semi-circular east end; nave with clerestory; N and S transepts; Narrow 4-bay N and S aisles; NE organ chamber; SE vestry; W end narthex. A planned SW tower was never built. EXTERIOR: Grey limestone band above plinth and voussoirs over all but aisle windows. Chancel has 5 high-set traceried Decorated 3-light windows with a moulded string rising to form the hoodmould. Lean-to organ chamber has angle buttresses, a coped half-gable and a rose window in the east wall. Vestry on S side has a parapet and square-headed windows; moulded arched doorway on S side. Transepts with buttresses with set-offs; moulded string rises to form hoodmould of 3-light N and S transept windows. Four 3-light traceried windows to clerestory. Buttressed aisles with lean-to roofs and lancet windows arranged in pairs with continuous hoodmould. Blind gable rising from aisle on S side, presumably part of the projected tower. Tall triple lancet at W end with shared hoodmould, each lancet with shafts with capitals and moulded arches. W end narthex with lean-to roof and buttresses crowned with conical pinnacles to left and right of nave. Pair of lancet windows in the centre, flanked by richly moulded doorways with replaced C20 doors. To left and right of the buttresses the outer bays of the narthex each have one lancet window. The right-hand bay is crowned with a small, low, open timber bellcote, gabled on all 4 sides. Original rainwater goods have fleur-de-lis brackets and decorated rainwater heads. INTERIOR: Remarkably tall nave. Unplastered walls. Tall, moulded chancel arch on half columns with moulded capitals; similar design to transeptal arches. 4-bay nave arcades with varied design to columns, paired across the nave, and moulded capitals. Keeled boarded wagon roof with simple decoration of pierced trefoils, timber braces to wagon ribs carried on stone shafts rising from the arcade capitals. Iron roof ties appear to be part of the original design. Similar roof to chancel. Chancel has moulded doorway to the vestry with a hoodmould and detached shafts. Moulded arches into organ chamber on N side of chancel and E side of N transept. 1927 timber reredos, following the curve of the east wall with 4 crocketed gables above trefoil-headed niches carved in relief with scenes from the Life of Christ.

FITTINGS include late C19 font, the curved bowl decorated with toothed moulding, text and roundels with marble inlay, supported on a stout cylindrical stem with engaged marble shafts. Late C19 pulpit on a chamfered stone base with a cylindrical local marble stem. The pulpit consists of an open arcade of polished marble columns with bell capitals and a stiff-leaf frieze below the cornice. Simple late C19 nave benches with Y ends, each decorated with a pierced trefoil. Unusual late C19 lectern, a conventional brass eagle but placed on a stem of rough-hewn granite with a dressed granite base. Early C20 choirstalls. Small number of stained glass windows, mostly early C20. The original glazing of Cathedral glass in pastel colours survives in most of the windows. HISTORY: The church was founded to accommodate the increasing population of late C19 Paignton and to provide services of a more evangelical character than those in the medieval parish church of St.John (qv). The total cost of erecting the church was estimated at »7,500 in 1886. Couldrey, whose design won the competition for the church, was responsible, along with GS Bridgman, for much of the architecture of late C19 Paignton, including Palace Avenue.
