Chandlers books is very good.
I've just bought "Beckhampton: Time Present and Time Past", by Pat Parslew, illustrated by Jane Brunning.
which is a lovely little read about the history of Beckhampton.

There are some interesting little titbits I never knew like the Waggon & Horses pub is said to have a chair
that tells the person sitting in it stories!
The odd sayings are great "Wiltshire born and Wiltshire bred, strong in the arm and thick in the head"
Did you know the word Moonshine originated in Devizes with the Moonrakers?
