A blue plaque just above this piece of rubblestone wall describes it as being a section of St Peter's Chapel, which belonged to the nearby Otterton Priory, and dating back to sometime before 1322. After the Dissolution (of the monasteries in the 1530s/1540s, presumably) the chapel fell empty, and then became an ale house called "At the sign of the Anchor" which was duly demolished in 1805. This appears to be all that remains, although one wonders how much more lies behind the cob or render on the walls either side of this small section.
