10, Warland

10 Warland is an early 16th-century cottage that incorporates remains of a 13th-century chapel. The chapel, dedicated to the Holy Ghost and St Katherine, was founded in 1271 after a gift of a house and land to the Bishop of Exeter. From at least 1349, it was served by members of the Order of Holy Trinity and of the Redemption of Captives in the Holy Land. In 1500, a license was granted by Henry VII to appropriate the chapel and its land to the Vicars Choral of Exeter Cathedral, who used it for secular purposes until 1801. The remaining parts of the chapel are integrated into the north gable wall of No 10 and the north wall of a rear outbuilding. The gable wall is likely part of the chapel's south wall and features three lancet windows. The arched heads of two windows can be seen in the attic, while the moulded jamb and sill of another window is located in the extension. The chapel wall is made of Devonian limestone random rubble. The cottage itself is two storeys high with two windows and was reroofed in slate around 1970. There is an old wall stack by the entrance, and the north end has traces of a blocked old window. The windows are two and three light casements with glazing bars and wooden lintels, and the internal window recesses are deeply splayed. The entrance is recessed with a segmental arch and a boarded door. Inside, there is a spiral staircase and timber-framed partitions. The building is listed for its medieval remains.
