[edit] History
Founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes, Wadworth & Co. quickly built a reputation as a fine brewer. It was not long before they exceeded their capacity at the Northgate Brewery and in 1885 they moved premises to a custom built facility less than 100 metres from their original site. Since then, the brewer has been a major influence on the economy of Devizes and a major provider of Ale in the South of England.
