This shop on Northgate Street claims to deal in genuine antiques, not bric-a-brac; certainly the window display looks fascinating. It has been described as selling 'quirky goods with a sense of rural history'. The business started in Pewsey in 2008 before moving to Devizes in 2013; the Crowman name does not refer to its owners but is a tribute to the scarecrows - with handmade clothes - that they used to make and sell. The building itself seems ideal for such an enterprise - it has previously been a dentist’s, a music shop and a tobacconist’s.
