| CREDITON (Holy Cross), a market-town and '''parish''', and the head of a union, in the hundred of Crediton, and extending also into that of West Budleigh, Crediton and N. divisions of Devon. This place, which takes its name from its situation near the river Creedy, was for many years the seat of a diocese, of which a collegiate church founded here in 905, and dedicated to the Holy Cross, became the cathedral.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50904#s7 ''A Topographical Dictionary of England''] (1848), pp. 720-725.
