Teignweek Chapel stood where Highweek Church now stands. It is mentioned in the deed of Bishop Brewer (1224-1244), in a bull of Pope Innocent III in 1245, and in the taxation of Pope Nicholas IV in 1288. It had all the parochial rights except that of sepulture. This was granted when the present Highweek Church was substituted for the chapel and dedicated to All Saints in 1428. The Bradley Aisle at the east end of Highweek Church was probably coeval with the main portion of the fabric of the chapel. Its stone work differs from that of the rest of the church.
