    John Wesley visited Devizes in January 1747 and Innes, a local curate, roused the inhabitants against him before he arrived. He was preaching in the house of a Mr Clark, which was surrounded by a mob. These listened to him and calmed down, and he was successful on later visits. However when his brother Charles was in Devizes he met with a mob and barely escaped with his life. After this the Wesleys were understandably reluctant to visit the town.
