Copplestone, Crediton, EX17 5PE

Copplestone is a village in Devon, England, situated in Mid Devon. It is not an ecclesiastical parish as it has no church of its own, which reflects its status as a relatively recent settlement which grew up around the ancient "Copleston Cross" that stands at the junction of the three ancient ecclesiastical parishes of Colebrooke, Crediton and Down St Mary. The village is part of the EX 17 postal district and lies near the town of Crediton. The historical landmark of Copleston Cross serves as a focal point for the community and indicates the village’s origins within the surrounding parish boundaries. Residents and visitors find the rural environment and the historic cross a distinctive feature of the area. The lack of a dedicated church suggests that worship and community activities are likely centred in neighbouring parishes, while the village itself offers a quiet, village lifestyle within reach of larger towns in Devon.
