The town of Crediton, once (and still) known as Kirton, has nearly 190 listed buildings, including the Grade I listed parish church, which mostly dates from the 15th century, with parts dating from the 12th and 13th centuries.

​

The High Street was destroyed by fire in 1743 and was followed by three other large fires later in the century.

​

Crediton Railway Station was opened in 1851 and was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

​

This site is intended to be a photographic record of as many of the listed buildings in the town as possible.

I am not a resident, or an expert, on the history of Crediton, and all the information on this site can be found using other sources.  This site was built during the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic as a project to keep me occupied.
