Agricultural store, former chapel. C15, possibly chapel of St James the Apostle licensed in parish of Lapford in 1434. Mudstone rubble with granite detail; thatched roof. Gable-ended block. South side includes a round-headed oak doorway to left and a granite round-headed window with chamfered surround and sunken spandrels and holes for iron saddlebars each side. In east end the arched head of blocked granite window with Perpendicular tracery survives but lower part was cut away by later doorway (now blocked). Another secondary blocked doorway in west end. Long walls include a series of putlog (scaffolding) holes.
Interior includes some limewashed medieval plaster. Original open wagon roof survives intact. It is four bays with main trusses and wall plate soffit-chamfered. The western bay includes four common rafter trusses, the other three include three common rafter trusses.
Detached chapels such as this are extremely rare in Devon and this example is exceptionally well preserved.
