Market Place, Devizes (3)
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: Unknown
A sequence of buildings at the north-west corner of the Market Place, all of which are listed except for the modern building next to the pub which is a tactful bit of infill. The first is Parnella House, with an ashlar front, canted bays and a Tuscan screen. In the central niche is a statue of Aesculapius, the Greek God of medicine, which suggests the house was built for a doctor. Dated c1740-50. Grade II* listed.
