As a Hampshire Hog for 60 years I have always known the pronunciation as "devver" similar to clever, other than by "incomers" who know nothing and try to impose their knowledge on the locals!
As Ian says, Crewkerne is often wrongly pronounced, as is Shrewsbury, especially by TV reporters, which then perpetuates the myth.
Colyn.
