Summary: | Addition of New Record.Old tiverton road, crediton. Leading towards creedy bridge, the site of an ancient river crossing. See crf. One of the oldest roads in the district as shown by its sunken level. On leaving the town it seems to detour round what may have been a saxon field. Possibly marks the boundary of the saxon tun, or cultivated open field system. Cites hoskins who says it may have originally been a ditch protecting the fields.(luxton). |
