The market town of Devizes developed around its 11th century castle. It gained a charter in 1141 and holds a weekly market in the large and picturesque Market Place. In the 16th century the town became known for its textiles and in the early 18th century held the largest corn market in the West Country. Devizes has about 500 listed buildings - a very large number for a small town.

Sign for the Moonrakers
The story goes that one moonlit night, a patrol of Excisemen discovered to a group of Wiltshire villagers raking the surface of a local pond. When asked what they were doing, the men pointed to the reflection of the moon in the water, and said they were trying to fish out 'thik yaller cheese'. The Excisemen took them for idiots and rode off laughing. But the Moonrakers had the last laugh. In fact they were collecting kegs of liquor hidden in the pond.
