Chapel House is a Grade II listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. Standing at 10a and 10b Fore Street, Plympton's main street, it is believed to have originally been a town house, later developed into a shop with attached house. It dates to the mid-18th century, but contains older remnants.It is constructed of Killas rubble with limestone dressings. There are keystoned flat arches that are original to the ground-floor doorways.Although its interior has not been inspected by Historic England, it was evaluated by Time Team in 1999. In the episode, architectural historian Beric Morley discovered, in the kitchen, a late 15th- or early 16th-century slack-head doorway made of granite moorstone that had been "laboriously carved" into a moulding. In the long part of the building's L-shape, he found a window of similar style and age. In the attic, an arched braced roof was shown, the particular style being a West Country special that existed from the end of the 14th century through into the 16th century. A dendochronology sampling dated the timbers to around 1470.Number 10b is now known as Becket House.
