More on Crediton

The earliest known settlement in Crediton was in the 7th century, based on Saint Boniface having been born there in AD 672. Crediton was made a bishopric in AD 909, and nine bishops were to rule here until 1050, when the seat was transferred to the larger Exeter.

Crediton prospered on the wool trade which was established there in 1249 and flourished for the next few centuries. In 1743 a massive fire broke out, completely destroying High Street and most of the buildings in "West Town". It was the second biggest fire in the country after the Great Fire of London. It killed sixteen and made over two thousand homeless.
