Crediton, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A historic market town in beautiful Devon countryside, well located for both Exeter and Dartmoor National Park. The town dates to at least the 9th century, and prior to 1050 it was the site of a bishopric. Crediton's most famous native was Boniface, a missionary monk born here in 680 AD. Boniface became patron saint of Germany and the Netherlands. Indeed, the collegiate church of Holy Cross is as large as a cathedral. From the 16th century Crediton was a centre of the weaving industry, and serge from Crediton was exported around the globe. Many of the town centre buildings date from the Georgian era.
