Full description

Dean Milles, 1755, Dean Milles Parochial Returns of 1755 (Record Office Collection). SDV341339.

A respondent to Dean Milles questionnaire mentions a ruined chapel at Westcott.

Southwest Archaeology, 2007, Westcott Barton, Middle Marwood, Devon. Results of Desk-Based Assessment and Archaeological Building Survey, 9 (Report - Survey). SDV342049.

The chapel may have been attached to the house but the mention of a ruin in Dean Milles survey suggests that it was free standing. It may have stood in the field opposite the tithe barn were a number of 'humps and bumps' are visible.
