Crediton Parish Church
Crediton Parish Church, Anglican parish church in Crediton, England
Crediton Parish Church is an Anglican parish church with Norman architectural elements, an extended nave, and twin towers positioned at the western end. A Lady Chapel and additional interior spaces contribute to its overall structure.
The site originally held a cathedral serving Devon and Cornwall until 1050, when the bishop's seat relocated to Exeter. Following the Reformation, local residents purchased the building from Henry VIII in 1547.
The building contains monuments to local figures such as Sir John de Sully and General Sir Redvers Buller, serving as a record of people important to the community. These memorials reflect how the place has kept the memory of those connected to the area alive.
The building welcomes visitors daily and offers guided tours, with the nearby Boniface Centre available for additional community activities and information. Allow time to explore all areas and examine the interior furnishings and details at a comfortable pace.
Around 1547, residents purchased the building from King Henry VIII for 200 pounds and established a governing body of twelve people. This distinctive group arrangement has continued to oversee the building for nearly five centuries.
