PAIGNTON , a seaside resort in the
Torquay
  parliamentary division of Devonshire, England, on Tar Bay, 24 m. S.W. of
Torquay
 , on the
Great
  Western railway. Pop. of urban

Copenhagen
 , 1851) and F. justi (
Leipzig
 , 1868) ; other Pahlavi books by Spiegel and Haug, by Hoshangji, and other Indian Parsecs.

but has a
late
  Norman doorway, and contains a carved and painted pulpit, and in the Kirkham chapel several interesting monuments of the Kirkham family, and a beautiful though damaged stone screen. Among other buildings and institutions are a novitiate of Marist Fathers, a science and art school, a pier with pavilion and concert rooms, and a yacht club. Little remains of an old palace of the bishops of
Exeter
  apart from the 14th-century Bible Tower. Its last
tenant
  was Bishop Miles Coverdale, who in 1535 published the first English
translation
  of the whole Bible. The town owes its popularity to a firm expanse of sand, good bathing facilities, and a temperate climate.
