Originally No.s 103-113 were all one property - Panton Mansion

Notes

  • As detailed above originally No.s 103-113 were all one property - Panton Mansion. Details about its later subdivision into multiple houses is detailed below.

    The heritage assessment document for No.105 High Street listed below details the varied history of all these properties.


  • Thomas Panton


  • Panton Family Tree
    [click above for a larger view]
  • As shown in the family tree above, the name Thomas Panton refers to quite a few members of an original Leicestershire family. Here in Newmarket though there are just two members that were important - Thomas Panton Senior & Junior.

  • Thomas Panton Senior was at first a groom in the stables of King George I at Hampton Court, and later Master of the Thurlow Hunt, trainer of the Duke of Devonshire's horses and finally chief groom (equerry) and Keeper of King George II's Running Horses here at Newmarket after 1750.

  • All the houses from next door Willoughby House - No.103 High Street through all the various parts of this property were originally part of Thomas Panton Senior's mansion.

    It's not known exactly when this house was built, but a conveyance record of a Mary Gratwicke of Hurstpierpoint details that Thomas Panton was living here in Newmarket on 25th June 1750 and the house is shown with him living here on John Chapman's 1768 map of Newmarket.

    Thomas Senior left the house in his will to his son Thomas Junior - known as 'Tommy'.

  • Thomas Panton Junior was elected as a member of the Jockey Club, and subscribed to the Jockey Club Cup in 1768. His greatest sporting achievement came in 1786 when his horse Noble won the Derby.
    http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Panton,_Thomas_(1731-1808)_(DNB00)


  • Thomas 'Tommy' Panton's Memorial in All Saints Church

  • Both Father and son acquired large tracts of land in and around Cambridge including Barnwell and Fen Ditton.
    The Panton Brewery in Panton Street, Cambridge was named after them (it's unlikely that they had any direct association with it) - this was later acquired by Bailey & Tebbutt's. The brewery was eventually bought by Greene King in 1925 and closed in 1958 ... the only remaining part it, the 'tap room', is now the Panton Arms.
    http://www.cambridge-camra.org.uk/ale/342/panton-brewery.html

  • Panton House

  • Panton House was (and still is) a very large property; so for many of the census' it seems that there was multiple occupancy - how these houses were subdivided is not entirely clear, but this still is very much the situation in No.s 105 - 113 High Street today, with even parts of Cardigan Lodge having addresses in the Avenue.


  • Panton House 2013

  • William Crockford

  • William Crockford bought all of Panton's land and houses in Newmarket and when he died in 1844 ownership of these became quite complicated, but were progressively purchased by William Parr Isaacson - in 1862 the 'Abstract of Title' shows that he owned most of Crockford's former estate.

  • William Parr Isaacson

  • See details for next door Willoughby House - No.103 High Street for more information about the varied later ownership by William of these houses.

  • When Bolton and Panton Houses were put up for auction by William on 5th July 1884 the resumé for them was as follows:-
    'This Valuable Property, which is at present in hand, has recently been let at £525 per annum as a Club House, and is well adapted for that or any similar purpose requiring large space, or for reconversion into Two Private Residences, the position being one of the best and most central in Newmarket'.

  • English Heritage Listed Building Details:-

  • Milton House - Charles Lacey Palmer

  • He was the first dentist into No.105 High Street, moving into Milton house in 1924.

    He was born in St. Margarets Bay, Kent in 1871 and in 1911 was living in Cynthia House, High Street (somewhere near where Reynold House and Jackson-Stops & Staff is now). He's shown at that address in Kelly's 1916 Directory and also incorrectly in the 1925 edition, but the 1926 Newmarket Street Directory correctly shows him in Milton House.

  • John Everard Pountain

  • One of the dentists in No.105 High Street, Milton house was John Everard Pountain, born 22 Apr 1921, St. Albans, died September 1982 in Cambridge.

    He's shown as a Royal Navy Volunteer on the Navy Lists between 1943 and 1945, as a Surgeon Lieutenant,  L.D.S. [Licence in Dental Surgery].

    His wife Jessie, who was his assistant in the dental surgery, died in August 2004 in Cambridge at the age of 83. They married in 1944 in Lewisham, Kent, while John was serving in the Navy - presumably at the Naval base there.

    Some time after the war John and Jessie moved into Milton House and it's known he had a dental surgery there around 1951, but not when he actually started.

  • Peter McHugh

  • Peter McHugh went to St. Mary's University College, Twickenham from 1953 to 1955, and is a Simmarian Alumnus.

    He taught after leaving college and spent three years in Canada. Following this he then re-trained as a Dental Surgeon.

    He moved into Milton House in 1970. By 1984 he'd moved on again to the Burwell Dental Surgery, 25 Ness Road, Burwell and retired in 1999.

  • Milton House underwent some renovation in November 2014 - the house was painted in clean white and a plaque added to the front wall, clearly stating the name of the house:-


    Milton House 2014


  • Stamford House

  • Garden Gate Flowers

  • The shop moved from here to No.3 The Rookery, having it's grand opening at its new location on Saturday 26th April 1975. This part of the building is now Betfred.


  • The Kinema


The Regency Cinema

[This is probably one of the clearest photos of nextdoor Willoughby House - No.103 High Street

  • Photo of Newmarket, High Street 1929, ref. 81956

  • Built as a rear extension to Stamford House, the Regency Cinema moved here in 1926 from its previous location as the Kosy Kinema in Grafton Street (Black Bear Lane). The cinema opened on 31st December 1926 with the American silent film 'Madame Sans-Gêne'. The film's theme is entirerly appropriate here; as it's about a story about a laundress that became a Duchess ... the original Kinema doubled-up as a steam laundry and this house had been the home of Lady Stamford [she was a Countess not a Duchess though - near enough].

    A sound on disc system was installed on 14th July 1930 when “Elstree Calling” became the first ‘talkie’ screened in the cinema. Then in 1931, a British Talking Pictures (BTP) sound system was installed. This used synchronised sound that was optically recorded directly onto the film.

    It was later renamed the Kinema and then finally by 1936 the Kingsway Cinema.

  • Kingsway Cinema

  • For many years the Kingsway was one of the only two cinemas in Newmarket, the other being the Doric Cinema - No.146 High Street. It was the slightly lower class of the two and sadly had the nickname 'the flea pit'. From memory it was slightly cheaper than the Doric and had a Saturday morning matinée, frequented by hordes of noisy children [Note from webmaster - I was one of them].

    To compete with the Doric Cinema CinemaScope was installed in January 1955, with a screening of “Lucky Me” starring Doris Day.

    Although of a more basic style the Kingsway outlived the Doric which closed on 27th July 1964.

    From an article in the Newmarket Journal in 1975 it was reported that at one session un-attended children had caused considerable damage in the cinema, and that as a result Dick Reeve, the then manager, was going to increase the entrance charge for un-attended children to full adult cost, in an attempt to dissuade riotous behavior(!).

    The Kingsway Cinema eventually closed on 28th May 1977 and was converted into the Coronet Social Club - a bingo hall.

  • From other details in the Newmarket Journal, at that time the cinema was also the home of the Grand Ole Opry - the American Country & Western themed music concert, brought here from Nashville by Newmarket's own famous Country & Western singer & musician Pete Sayers. Concerts were performed on the stage in front of the cinema screen.

    Pete Sayers was the son of the then manageress of Harpers Music Salon - No.16 high Street. According to details from his obituary in the Independent in 2005 he'd brought the Grand Ole Opry to Newmarket in 1972 - it ran for quite a few years.

  • Cardigan Lodge

  • Mary Bottom

  • In 1871, living in what was to become Cardigan Lodge, Mary Bottom was the widow of Charles Bottom, who had been for many years been a Farmer, along with Innkeeper and Housekeeper of the White Hart Hotel on the other side of the High Street. In 1881 she'd moved to Upper Station Road (now Old Station Road) and was living next door to her previous neighbour from Park Cottage; equestrian painter Harry Hall.

  • Admiral Rous & Lady Cardigan

  • Admiral Rous sold No.113 High Street to his niece Lady Cardigan in 1877 - the house then being renamed Cardigan Lodge.


    Admiral Henry John Rous

  • Newmarket Local History Society - Admiral The Hon. Henry John Rous:-

  • Sidney Winslow Woollett

  • Sidney Winslow Woollett was in Cardigan Lodge until 1927 after which  he moved to Kingston House, Kingston Passage, where he died on 7th June  1928. Soon after Dr. Davis is listed in the Medical Register in Kingston House in 1931.



  • William Henry Day & Floyd Minter Peck

  • William Henry Day was listed in the Medical Directories in 3 Park Terrace between 1858 & 1861. In 1858 he was in a short-term handover partnership with Floyd Minter Peck. Floyd emigrated to Australia that same year with his brother James Peck, his brother-in-law Dr. Hedley and  Dr. Reeve of Snakes Ridge.

  • Floyd was born in Newmarket on 20th April 1820 to Robert James and Sarah, he was christened in St. Mary's church on 26th August 1920.
    He married Anna Maria Robertson, in Hammersmith on 17th March 1847.
    Anna Maria was from 37 St. Peter's Square, Hammersmith. Her father was the artist Charles John Robertson, also known as of Worton House, Isleworth, Middlesex. He died before she was married.

    Episcopal District Chapel of St Peter, Hammersmith, London
    Married by licence. Floyd Minter Peck, full age, bachelor, surgeon of Folkestone, Kent, father Robert James Peck, surgeon. Anna Maria Robertson, full age, spinster of 37 St Peter's Green, Hammersmith, father Charles John Robertson, gentleman (dec'd). Both signed full names. Witnesses [unreadable], Thomas Edward Briarly, Mary Briarly Robertson, Caroline Sophia Harefield and Henry Robertson

  • After emigrating to Australia the couple lived in a house called Grassdale, Victoria [for details see Photos below], sadly Anna died soon after they arrived in 1859.

  • Floyd re-married on 15th August 1860 to Menie, daughter of Duncan Campbell, Esq., of Rockside, Islay, Argyllshire.
    This marriage was short-lived as Floyd contracted an infection whilst performing an autopsy, and died five days later on 7th January 1864 in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Dr. Hedley took over his practice after his sudden death.
    Further details about his life and a memorial stained-glass window for him in St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral can be found here:-
    http://fergusonandurie.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/21-09-1867-st-pauls-cathedral-sale-gippsland-victoria-australia/

  • Floyd's father, Robert can be seen on the 1841 census in Mentmore House - No.30-32 High Street. When he died in 1848 his practice was continued by Floyd in Cardigan Lodge.

  • William Day moved to Lushington House - No.119 High Street on The Terrace in 1862, where the practice continued for the next 64 years until Alton House was built next door.

    This practice evolved into the present-day Rookery Medical Centre, moving there in 1974 ... 'One Peck eventually led to a whole Rookery!'.
    For further details on the history behind The Rookery Medical Centre see:-

  • Richardson's Opticians

  • Richardson's Opticians were originally in the rear of Cardigan Lodge in No.3 The Avenue - they later moved to No.1 High Street.

    [Note from wemaster - Richardson's were in The Avenue in 1965 - my first pair of glasses came from there. By about 1975 they'd moved to the clocktower.]

  • As the outline planning application above shows, Newmarket nearly lost Panton House in 1974. This was 3 years before the Carlton (No. 82 High Street) was demolished - clearly a reckless time for the planners. Permission had been approved, so it's fortunate for us that someone changed their mind and left this impressive historic mansion house for us to appreciate today. The building's second owner; William Crockford, was an infamous gambler,  founder and proprietor of the Crockford's Club gaming hall in Mayfair, London - so maybe the buildings present-day usages are not so out-of-place.
