The Spa Pavilion

The site where the theatre now stands was originally a band stand built in the early 1900’s however this first band stand was quite small and did not really have much room for seating, this may have only been a temporary structure. A second bandstand was erected in 1907, which was octagonal and made out of wrought iron; this was the first permanent structure to be built on this site.

Basildon Park

Basildon Park is a country house situated 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon.

The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical “Adamesque” style. Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1929 and quickly sold again…
