Creed (Cornish: Krid)[1] is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Grampound with Creed, in the Cornwall district, in mid Cornwall, England.

The name comes from Saint Cride (Sancta Crida), the patron of the church.[5]
The manor of Tybesta was the head manor of the hundred of Powder in the time of Domesday and later one of the 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall. It included the whole of the parish of Creed and parts of other parishes.
