The
effigy is only about 3 feet long and the tomb
was moved from the north transept in the early
1800's. It was thought to represent a
child (Margaret, granddaughter of Edward IV)
so the face was recarved by Hems in
the early 1900's, modelled on his granddaughter.
This regrettable work prompted much controversy,
including letters to the Times. The heraldry
indicates otherwise.

Crediton
- Church of the Holy Cross
(church

(visitors' car park behind the

|
|
Crediton
was originally a cathedral town but the last bishop, Leofric,
moved his see to Exeter (see Exeter) in about 1050. In the early
12th century there is evidence of a College of Clergy, Crediton
becoming the site of a Collegiate Church of secular canons.
The College ended with the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Edward
Vl granted a charter in 1547 establishing a corporation of twelve
secular Governors to administer the lands and tithes. Thus the
church became a parish church with Governors independent of
the Bishop of Exeter in temporal matters.
