...By the earlier 17th century wages in the cloth trade had fallen and there was distress... Shortly before 1630 the Devizes poorrate rose... Moreover since country clothiers competed with town clothiers some attempt was made by the latter to enforce apprenticeship. .. By the middle of the century Devizes weavers were finding it hard to retain their apprentices, (fn.89) .. None the less the old 'clothier' or woollen-draper families such as the Batts, (fn.91) the Morrises, (fn.92) and the Flowers (fn.93) continued to govern the town and fill the mayoralty. New ones who now arose did the same: Pierces, (fn.94) Erwoods, (fn.95) Webbs, (fn.96) and Paradises.(fn. 97) William Erwood and Richard and Robert Flower were all mayors and so were Edward Northey and John Stephens, also clothiers. (fn.98) That some at least of these manufacturers possessed gentle status and were prosperous is in various ways attested. Northey (fn.99) and John Pierce (d. c. 1642) (fn. 100) sent their sons to Oxford, and Richard Batt bequeathed £130 in cash. (fn. 101).
...(94)Members of the family were Thos. (fl. 1603): Gen. N.S. xxxviii. 82; John (mayor 1603): Cunnington, Annals, i, p. xix; John (married 1633): Gen. N.S. xxvii. 174; Edw. (married 1642): Gen. N.S. xxxi. 188; and Ric. (married 1664): Gen. N.S. xxxii. 207. Thos., later dean of Salisbury (see p. 229), was presumably the son of the second of these...

Inns
.....Thomas Pierce, the metheglin-maker, (fn.358) once occupied the Swan and was presumably the descendant of John Pierce, its licensee in 1600, (fn.359) and Richard Pierce, the Royalist mayor, its owner in 1649. (fn.360) The inn was probably the Black Swan in 1668...

..1676 A White Swan was at what is now 39, Market Place. It was owned by John, Thomas and Richard Pierce during the 16th and 17th centuries. Metheglyn was manufactured in the town from fermented honey (similar to mead) and was produced by the Pierce family who were prominent Royalists during the Civil War. It existed in about 1676 ...
