Tawton: The First Saxon Bishopric of Devon

Prepared by Michael Steer

In 905, the Diocese of Tawton was separated from that of Sherborne, with Werstan installed as its first Bishop that year, followed by Putta in 909. In 913, the Diocese was transferred to Crediton. Although this series of events is widely believed and often written, it has been difficult to prove and the debate continues. It is thought that the bishop continued to have a palace in the village of Bishops Tawton long after the See was removed and traces of the original palace building have been incorporated into the house at Court Farm.
