DEVIZES is a municipal borough, market, union and assize town, head of a county court district, railway station and military centre, on the old road from London to Bath and Bristol, and nearly in the centre of the county, of which it may be termed the second capital, and the chief town of North "Wilts, 88 miles from London by road, 23 north from Salisbury, 6 North from Market Lavington, 7 south from Calne, 7 east from Melksham and 20 east from Bath, with a station on the Berks and Rants section of the Great Western railway, which joins the main line at Reading and the Wilts and Somerset section at Trowbridge: it is in the Eastern division of the county, hundred of Potterne and Cannings, rural deanery of Potterne (Potterne portion), archdeaconry of Wilts and diocese of Salisbury; and is on the flat top of a hill, forming a sort of table-land of considerable extent and elevation, which stretches far away to the west. The town is 5oo feet above the level of the sea, and from its lofty and exposed situation is subject to winds from every point of the compass, hence the air is often cold, piercing and sharp, but dry and salubrious. The nature of the soil varies considerably from the more southern and western parts of the county; in the latter stone is abundant, while here all traces of it are lost; in this district is found the green sand, one of the beds lying between the chalk and the oolites, which is very porous and of great thickness. A vast number of fossils are found about here. The town is of great but uncertain antiquity, some believing it to be Roman, while, from some fragments of rude pottery, and a quern, found on the site of the castle, others trace an earlier occupation by the ancient Britons: it is not, however, mentioned in "Domesday Book," but it is thought then to have been called "Kainningham," or the chief town in the manor of "Kannings." The present name, which is a barbarous Anglicization of the Latin " Divisas," seems to point to nothing older than the erection of the castle: William of Malmesbury, in the 12th century, speaks of the "Castrum ad Divisas" (the castle of the boundaries), and the site on which it was built is at a point where the manors of Rowde, Potterne and Canning met. The borough of Devizes obtained its first charter from the Empress Maud, the daughter of Henry I. ; it was afterwards confirmed by her son Henry II. Two members were returned to Parliament from the time of Edward I. but by the "Representation of the People Act, 1867," it returned only one, and under the provisions of the "Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885," the representation was merged into that of the county. The municipal borough, from north-east to south-west is 2 miles long, one mile broad, and comprises the parishes of St .• John the Baptist and St. Mary the Virgin, part of St. James or Southbroom and part of the parish of Rowde ; it is divided into North and South wards, and is governed by a mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 town councillors, who also act as the Urban Sanitary Authority. The borough has a commission of the peace and a separate court of quarter sessions. The town is well paved, drained and watched, and is lighted with gas, and supplied with water by the Town Council, to whom both the gas and waterworks now belong. The waterworks, completed in I 879, at a cost of £n,7oo, are about 5 miles north-east of the town, in the parish of Bishop's Cannings. The Kennet and Avon canal (begun in 1794 and finished in 1805) winds through the valley below the town, and is carried over a hill by a series of twenty• nine locks, and, after passing Devizes on the northwest, eventually joins the river Kennet at Hungerford, thus affording means of transit for goods to the eastern and western parts of the kingdom. The church of St. John the Baptist, near the castle, was probably built by Roger, Bishop of Salisbury, in the early part of the 12th century, and is a building cf stone, originally cruciform, and consisting of chancel, nave, transepts and a central tower ; aisles were added about 1450, and the chapels on either side of the chancel, about 1480, and in 1863 the nave and aisles were extended one bay westward: the church, 126 feet long by 68 wide, now consists of chancel, nave of six bays, aisles, transepts, with eastern chapels, north and south porches, and an embattled central tower with stair turret, and containing 8 bells, all cast between 161o and 1747: the chancel, restored in 1844, is Norman and has an intersecting arcade running round the interior: the aisles are Perpendicular: the north-east chapel has in the hollow moulding of the east window the inscription:-" Orate p bono statu Ricardi Lamb": the south-east chapel, a very fine example of Late Perpendicular, has an embattled parapet, ornamented with Tudor flowers, and square panels enclosing quartrefoils, and in the centre of the east wall, above the roof, is a canopied niche: the transepts retain the outline of the original Norman windows, now blocked up, and the north transept shows traces of the doorway formerl! leading to the rood loft: the east wall of each transept is pierced by a hagioscope : the tower is oblong in plan ; of the four arches supporting it, two are semi-circular. and those on the north and south pointed: the upper stage is relieved externally by an arcade of sixteen semicircular arches, six of which are pierced for lights : all the windows in the church, except those in the chancel, are Perpendicular insertions : the east window and three others are stained, and there are many brasses, mural monuments and tablets, including several to the Heath. cote and Sutton families: there are 1,o5o sittings. The register dates from the year 1559. The church of St. Mary the Virgin is a building of stone 132 feet long by 65 wide, and consists of chancel,. clerestoried nave of five bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower 91 feet in height, with. pinnacles, and containing 6 bells, four of which were cast , in 1663, and one in 1696 : the chancel, the most ancient portion, is Norman, and was originally lined within by an intersecting arcade, much of which on the north and south sides has been cut away to admit of the insertion of four Perpendicular windows : the east end of the chancel was restored in 1852: the roof is vaulted a:ad grained in stone: the chancel arch, cut through the original Norman wall, is late Perpendicular: on either side of its western face is a canopied niche, with a hagioscope beneath: the nave, aisles and tower were rebuilt by William Smyth, who died 1 June, 1436, and is commemorated by a Latin inscription on the nave roof: in the centre of the east wall of the nave above the ridge of the chancel roof is a canopied niche, with a statue of the Virgin and Child : at the north-east angle of the nave is a. stair turret, with both upper and lower doorways ~ the tower, 14 feet square within, opens to the nave by an arch 40 feet in height and 10 feet wide, and the lower stage has stone graining: on eithe:t' WILTS. 6:1=
