Crediton's place in history was set over a thousand years ago, as the birthplace of a saint who went on to shape the church across Europe.
Birthplace of a European saint
Crediton is the birthplace of St Boniface, born here in 680 AD and now regarded as one of the founding fathers of Christianity in continental Europe — he's the patron saint of Devon, Germany and the Netherlands. The town still marks his legacy with a National Shrine, a statue, a well and a dedicated window in the parish church.
Devon and Cornwall's first cathedral
In the 10th century, Crediton's monastery was chosen as the site of the first cathedral of Devon and Cornwall, serving from 909 until the decision was made in 1050 to move it to the safer site of Exeter. The Parish Church of the Holy Cross, built mainly in the 15th century, now stands on that original cathedral site.
