Crediton Parish Church, Anglican parish church in Crediton, England
The Church of the Holy Cross features Norman architecture with an extensive nave, twin towers at the west end, and a notable Lady Chapel.
The church stands on the site of a former cathedral that served Devon and Cornwall until 1050 when the bishop's seat moved to Exeter.
The building holds monuments of local significance, including the tomb of Sir John de Sully and the memorial of General Sir Redvers Buller.
The church remains open daily for visitors, offering guided tours and access to the adjacent Boniface Centre for community activities.
Local residents purchased the church from Henry VIII in 1547 for £200, establishing a governing body of twelve people that continues today.
