A former resident of Devizes has written his first book set in the town and Market Lavington.

Roger Francis, 78, who was born in Ivy House in 1936, has written a novel called The Lost Pages.

The mystery adventure takes place mainly in Market Lavington and Devizes.

Mr Francis, who now lives in Australia, said: “I am pleased and delighted that I stuck with it and my novel is finally published. I have managed to fulfil a long held dream, which is now a reality.”

Mr Francis lived in Market Lavington for 19 years and then Green Lane, Devizes.

The Lost Pages is available to buy online from Amazon.
