Wilkin, w. H. /tda/67(1935)310-312/axminster notes.
Wilkin suggests that the cleric recording the chapel as st. John the baptist's may have made an error, thus explaining absence of st. Leonard's in registers of the bishops of exeter.

St. Leonard's. No reference to this chapel in the registers of the bishops of exeter. Turner and risdon both mention it. The site of the building was in the corner of the field (no.560 on the 25" os map), beside the footpath running from sisterhood farm to watery lane, and then straight on to porch farm. A small farmhouse named st. Leonard's occupied the site according to 1845 tithe map. May refer to the chapel of st. John the baptist at smallridge. The farm, st. Leonards, is shown on 1" os first edition 1809 (os).
