The chapter roll of 1439 mentions the Livery Dole Chapel as ""Capella Sancti Clari extra portam australem infra parochiam de Hevetre"" ("The Chapel of Saint Clarus outside the southern gate (of the City of Exeter) within the parish of Heavitree"). In the year 1418 however the chapel was not included amongst a deed of that date found in the 19th century amongst the records of Exeter City Corporation listing all the other chapels in Heavitree, namely St Clements and St Eligius.
