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.[1][2] It is now used by the Church of England as the title of a suffragan bishop who assists the diocesan Bishop of Exeter.[3]
