An early eighteenth century rent book refers to Francis Merewether’s new built house, now Thomas Browne’s. The House was built around 1700 for Francis Merewether of Devizes. He was High Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1700, and is listed there as coming from Easterton near Market Lavington (Wikipedia). Settlement before his marriage to Hannah Leigh of London in 1697 had made him wealthier. The manors of Bulkington, Worths or Bulkington Farm and Week Farm, Keevil were transferred to him. Francis Merewether had two terms as an MP for Devizes. One in 1701 and a second term from 1703 to 1705.
