Historic Buildings

This terrace of four listed buildings at 26-29 Chapel Street forms part of the streetscape of a long-established community on the edge of Dartmoor. The Grade II* listing reflects their historic importance and architectural character, likely dating from the 17th or 18th century when such dwellings would have served local families and traders.

Today the buildings remain part of the living streetscape, their solid construction and period details speaking to generations of use and adaptation. They sit within a landscape shaped by moorland settlement patterns, where chapel streets often mark the growth of communities around places of worship and trade routes crossing the high ground.
