This well known chapel and almshouses were founded by Canon John Stevens in 1457 to house thirteen poor men. The almshouse and chapel were constructed on open ground, which had once been covered by Roman cobbles, out of Heavitree stone with dressing of ashlar or Beer stone. The glass panels are an artwork entitled Marking Time. The door shaped panels have pieces of medieval pottery, and glass through to a Coke can that have been excavated by archaeologists during the building work, sandwiched between the panes.
