Devizes – 8 Quirky Facts
- Anarchy!
Devizes Castle was attacked during ‘The Anarchy’, which isn’t a punk band but a period of history when war raged between Stephen of England and Empress Matilda. - Cromwell
Sadly the castle was all but destroyed by order of parliament after the town was attacked and taken by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. - It’s A Sign!
Wadworth Brewery in the heart of the town, is the only UK brewery that still paints all its pub signs by hand. A sure sign that every one of their pubs is worth visiting (we’re gradually ticking them all off our own list!). - Long List
A relatively small town, Devizes has over 500 listed buildings. - On the Market
Devizes’ weekly market dates back to 1228, it stoically stayed open and served the town through WWII and the 2020 corona virus pandemic. - Sailing Uphill
The 29 locks on the outside of Devizes allow boats to climb a height of 72 meters. That’s higher than Nelson’s Column, three times the height of the Angel of the North and taller than London Bridge! - Roundway Hill
At the top of Roundway Hill is an Iron Age hill fort. The hill was also the site of a famous battle between the Royalists and New Model Army during the English Civil War. Yes, there have been a LOT of battles in the area. - Historic Walk
Drop by the Wiltshire Museum in the town centre and you can pick up a leaflet that takes you on an historic walk through the town listing the various sites of interest.
