Crediton Congregational Church

In 739AD Aethelheard, king of the West Saxons, granted land for a monastery. In the early 900’s a cathedral was built, almost certainly of wood.

St Swithun is 500 years old in 2023 and sits in the centre of an ancient Saxon hill top village with some intriguing and beautiful ancient bench ends carved at the end of the 16th century.

A medieval church with lovely stained glass windows, the churchyard has lovely views over the rolling mid Devon countryside.
