There were two chapels of "la Wallens", one in Throwleigh parish, the other in Gidleigh.
A chapel, dedicated to the splendour of the Virgin Mary, at Wallen in the parish of Throwleigh was founded in 1332 by Richard de Chageford. This chapel existed in its own right and was not the Parish Church of Throwleigh (citing Hingeston-Randolph. The Register of Bishop Grandisson. p 495). Traditionally the site is on Wallandhill where a building, known as the Chapel Barn, is supposed to occupy the site. The discovery of human burials in the hillside suggests a chapel graveyard.
