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.

Once were trains [3]
There is no trace now but this was once the trackbed of the Devizes branch railway. Devizes was first reached by a branch line from Holt junction on the Wessex main line in 1857. The line became a through line in 1862 when the GWR Reading to Hungerford line was extended to Devizes via Pewsey. It returned to being a branch line in 1900 when the Stert to Westbury link was built. The line and all of its stations closed in 1966.
