Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book re-examines the origins of Devizes, a Wiltshire town whose unique name and history have long puzzled antiquarians.

By examining the scant historical references, the book investigates the possibility of an earlier origin for Devizes, tracing its roots to Saxon times or even further back to pre-Roman Britain. The author provides a thorough analysis of the arguments for and against Bishop Roger's involvement, offering a fresh perspective on the town's enigmatic beginnings. With meticulous research and compelling insights, this book sheds new light on the origins of Devizes, challenging established narratives and inviting readers to reconsider the rich tapestry of the town's past.
