This crest appears on the gates of what is now Braeside Education and Conference Centre, but was for many years part of Devizes Grammar School. In common with many traditional town grammar schools it was effectively closed down in the 1960s. Officially it merged with a local secondary school to become Devizes School in 1969 but the new school no longer used this site. Note that the crest uses the castle as a motif.
