Rowcroft Hospice (Rowcroft Convalescent Home), Avenue Road SX 900 646.

Originally Pilmuir House, owned by the Wills family from Bristol of cigarette manufacturing fame. The house was built in 1902. After the First World War it was occupied by one of the Wills family daughters Ella Rowcroft. She built Rainbow House on the estate in 1935, into which she moved in 1937, and turning the earlier house into a convalescent home for women and children with Tb. During the Second World War the house became a maternity home. Ella Rowcroft died in 1941 leaving an endowment fund to continue the work of the convalescent home. In 1982 the home became a hospice with backing from the Torquay Lions Club. A new ward was created in 1983, and another together with a single room in 1990. [Sources: Rowcroft Hospice website.]
