Devizes
Devizes is a market town and civil parish in the centre of Wiltshire in England. Situated on a hill at the east side of the Vale of Pewsey, the town lies almost 10.5 miles (16.9 km) southeast of Chippenham and about 11 miles (18 km) east-north-east of the county town of Trowbridge. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of approximately 11715. Its growth has taken place around the 11th century Norman castle. During the 12th and 13th centuries, masters and traders developed companies to serve the inhabitants of the castle. The first recorded market in Devizes goes back to 1228. The original market was in the large area outside St Mary's Church, instead of in the present Market Place, which at that time would have been within the castle's outer bailey. Devizes in the present day provides a centre for banks, lawyers and stores and has an open market place where a market is held once a week on Thursdays. It has nearly five hundred listed buildings, which is a a great deal for a town of its size, and some notable churches, a Town Hall and a green at the heart of the town. The town brings in a reasonable amount of tourism as a result of its distance to Avebury, Stonehenge and Salisbury. Local attractions include things like Wiltshire Museum, Caen Hill Locks, the Kennet and Avon Canal, seasonal crop circles, and the White Horse. The Wadworth Brewery, with its shire horses that deliver Wadworth beer to clubs in the region together with providing rides to the public, runs a visitor centre.
