Day 5: Rest Day in Devizes

Today is a rest day and so pilgrims are left to their own Devizes! We encourage pilgrims to attend the public 10am communion service in St James Church, where we are staying, listed below. Devizes is famous for its brewery, but sadly Wadworth no longer do brewery tours. We can however visit the Brewery Tap and Shop. See below for details of the museum, the leisure centre and the launderette. Also we could go back and look at the Caen Hill Locks which we walked past yesterday; a St James parishioner who is also a Caen Hill Locks volunteer is keen to show us around.

One of our number got up early and ran to see the church at Bishop Cannings in the glorious morning sunshine. Whatever floats your boat... (It's along the canal) Aidan Simons
