The terrace above has a round tower overlooking the gatehouse below, with a similar dragon gargoyle.

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.

Welsh slate roof with lead roll hips and ridges; steeply pitched hipped pavilion roofs with ornate iron cresting. Rendered chimney stacks. French Chateau style influence. EXTERIOR: 2 ranges of station buildings, one on either side of the line. 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 windows have stone mullioned and transomed frames. The forecourt canopy is supported on large cast-iron brackets with foiled spandrels. 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 | 1986-03-26 | 1986-03-26 | |||
