Bishop of Crediton
The Bishop of Crediton is an episcopal title which takes its name from the town of Crediton in Devon, England. The title was originally used by the Anglo-Saxons in the 10th and 11th centuries for a diocese covering Devon and Cornwall.〔〔 It is now used by the Church of England as the title of a suffragan bishop who assists the diocesan Bishop of Exeter.〔
==Bishop of Tawton==
According to Risdon (d. 1640), the present village of Bishops Tawton, on the River Taw two miles south of Barnstaple in North Devon, was the earliest bishop's see in the shire of Devon, when in 905 ''"Edward, surnamed Senior, a nurse-father of the church, finding these western parts to want ecclesiastical discipline, by the advice of Pleymond, ''(sic)'' Archbishop of Canterbury, ordained a provincial synod and decreed that three new bishops should be consecrated, whereupon Edulph was appointed to Wells, Herstan to Cornwall and Werstan to Devon, who had here his see, where after him one only of his successors sat being hence removed to Crediton".''〔Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.321〕
Werstan's successor appears to have been Bishop Putta (reigned 906-910), who was murdered whilst travelling from his see at Bishops Tawton to visit the Saxon viceroy Uffa, whose residence was at Crediton.〔Chattaway, Joseph, An Historical Sketch of the Danmonii: Or Ancient Inhabitants of Devonshire, 1830, p.79 ()〕 It is believed that Copplestone Cross, mentioned in a charter dated 947 and situated 6 miles north-west of Crediton and 22 miles south-east of Bishops Tawton, was erected in commemoration of his murder.〔http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-443618-copplestone-cross-copplestone-devon〕
