About Oswestry
Oswestry is very close to the Welsh border. It is at the junction of the A5, A483, and A495 roads. The town is the administrative headquarters of the borough of Oswestry and is the third largest town in Shropshire with a population of 17,181, after Telford and Shrewsbury.
The former Marcher Lordship of Oswestry was annexed to Shropshire along with the Lordships of Whetington, Masbroke and Knoking to form the Hundred of Oswestry by section 11 of the Laws in Wales Acts 1535. The Battle of Maserfield is thought to have been fought here in 642, between the Anglo-Saxon kings Penda and Oswald. Oswald was killed in this battle and was dismembered; according to a legend, one of his arms was carried to an ash tree by a bird, and miracles were subsequently attributed to the tree (as Oswald was considered a saint). Thus it is believed that the name of the site derived from a reference to "Oswalds Tree". The spring Oswald's Well is supposed to have originated where the bird dropped the arm from the tree.
