OSWESTRY,
WITH THE VILLAGES OF WHITTINGTON, MORDA AND NEIGHBOURHOODS.
OSWESTRY is a borough corporate, market town and parish, having separate
jurisdiction, locally in the hundred of its name; 171 miles N.W. from
London, 18 N.W. from Shrewsbury. 16 N. from Welchpool, 15 S. from
Wrexham, and 12 S.E. from Llangollen. It lies on the main road from
London to Holyhead, upon higher ground than any other town in Shropshire:
the country around is delightfully varied with hill, dale, wood, and
water—exhibiting some remarkable rich and picturesque scenery. Oswestry
is of great antiquity, and its present appellation, which is a corruption
of _Oswaldstree_, was derived from the name of St. Oswald, King of
Northumberland, who was defeated and slain here by Penda, King of Mercia,
A.D. 642. Subsequently, when the great Offa constructed the barrier
still known by his name, Oswestry stood between it and Watt’s dyke, which
ran parallel to the former, at the distance of two miles: it was thus
rendered a border town, and hence became frequently the scene of contest,
first between the Saxons and the Britons, and afterwards between the
latter and the Normans. In 1212, under its Lord Fitz-Alan, it was taken
and burnt by King John, also by the Welch prince, Llewellyn, in 1233.
During this period it was encircled by a strong wall, which had four
gates, fronting the four cardinal points: some traces of the former may
still be seen, but the gates were entirely demolished about the year
1783. Of the castle, which stood on a lofty artificial mount at the west
side of the town, only a few fragments now remain; these, however, are
sufficient to indicate its primitive strength, and consequent importance,
as a station of defence. It may be said of Oswestry that it ranks as the
birth-place of the Stuart race of Kings. Walter Fitz-Alan, founder of
Paisley monastery, whose descendants took the name of Stewart, from their
office of high ‘Stewards,’ of Scotland, was born here and flourished in
the reigns of Stephen, and Henry II. A great part of the town was
destroyed by casual fires which occurred in 1542, 1544 and 1567.
Oswestry has been much improved since the year 1810, when an act was
obtained for widening, paving and lighting the streets, which gave an
impulse to the spirit of building. In 1825 gas was introduced; and the
ancient structures of timber and brick have given place to respectable
modern edifices. Additional improvements have since taken place, and
large and commodious market-places have been erected for the sale of
butter, cheese, poultry and butchers meat, for which the locality is well
adapted, possessing railway communication to all parts, by means of a
branch to the town from the Shrewsbury and Chester line, and having an
extensive Welsh agricultural district at its back. The corn market is
situate in Bailey-square, and is a plain building, with a high clock
turret, and the roof is partly covered with glass. A beautiful field of
two and a half acres, situated near the very centre of the town, is
appropriated as a ‘Smithfield’ for the cattle fairs. A neat theatre is
generally opened in the autumn. The races have been discontinued for the
last three years.
The first charter of incorporation was granted to the inhabitants by
William Fitz-Alan, in the reign of Henry II; the first royal charter was
conferred by Richard II, and a subsequent one by Charles II—under the
last mentioned the town was governed until the operation of the Municipal
Reform Act (passed in 1835), since when, the corporate body has consisted
of a mayor, six aldermen and eighteen councillors, with two
serjeant-at-mace, and the other usual assistant officers: the borough
under the same act, was divided into two wards, and provided with a
commission of the peace. Petty sessions for the hundred are held, on the
last Thursday in every month, before the magistrates; and a county court,
under the new acts is held monthly, for the recovery of debts not
exceeding £50. The Earl of Powis is lord of the manor. Oswestry is a
polling station at the election of members to represent the northern
division of the county. The sale of Welch flannel, and of cotton goods,
which was formerly carried on here to a great extent, has entirely
disappeared: at present the chief business of the place is malting.
There are many corn mills in the vicinity, where is also coal; and upon
the Morda stream is a manufactory for paper. Two iron and brass
foundries give employment to a large number of persons. There are four
excellent inns in the town—they are admirably conducted commercial and
family houses.
The parish church of Saint Oswald (or St. Mary), originally the
conventual church of the ancient monastery, was greatly damaged during
the commotions of 1616 and 1664; at which latter period the tower was
taken down by the royalists, this structure was enlarged and beautified
in 1807, and since that period it has undergone great improvements. The
church contains many very handsome tablets and monumental inscriptions.
On the north side of the church yard is a pleasant walk, overshadowed
with a double row of lime trees, and terminated by an alcove. The living
of Oswestry is a discharged vicarage, in the patronage of the Earl Powis;
the present incumbent is the Rev. Thomas Salwey. The other places of
worship under the establishment are Saint Martin’s, and Trinity chapels,
with one at Trefonen and another at Hengoed. There are several chapels
for dissenters, of which a list is appended. The free grammar school
here, was founded about the time of Henry IV, by Davy Holbeck, who
endowed it; and it has been further enriched by subsequent subscriptions:
the school is free to all the sons of parishioners, for instruction in
English and classical literature. A letter is still in existence, in the
hand-writing of Oliver Cromwell, resting the appointment of master of
this school in the corporation of Oswestry—how such appointment has
lapsed from the corporation is not ascertained. The other principal
charities comprise a school, conducted upon the national plan, one on
that of the British and Foreign School Society, a house of industry, and
a valuable dispensary, carried on partly by the self-supporting system,
and partly by contributions. There is an association for the prevention
of crime and the prosecution of felons. It is remarked in ‘Tymm’s
Topography,’ that, in 1797, died John Lloyd, attorney, at Oswestry, the
original institutor of societies for the prosecution of felons—of which
that at Oswestry was the _first_. This neighbourhood is remarkable for
its great respectability; and to the number of genteel and opulent
families that have residences in it, may in a great measure, be ascribed
the prosperity of the town itself. The ‘Oswestry Advertiser’ newspaper,
is published every Wednesday, and is worthy of support for the local
information which it contains. The News Room is at the Court House,
Bailey square. The markets are held on Wednesday and Saturday; the
former is a good one for grain and other produce; the latter is for
butcher’s meat, as well as other commodities of domestic consumption.
Cattle fairs are held on the first Wednesday of every month. The parish
(which comprises several townships) contained in 1841, 8,843 inhabitants,
and by the returns for 1851, 8,796. The population of the township is
4,817.
WHITTINGTON is a parish, in the hundred of Oswestry—the village, two
miles and a half north-east from the town of that name, is chiefly to be
noticed for the remains of a castle, anciently belonging to the
Fitz-Warrens. The ruins consist of one large tower, with traces of four
others, and the exterior gateway, now occupied by a farmer. A station
belonging to the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company is in this
parish. A church belonging to the establishment, a chapel for
Independents, and a national school are in the village. The parish
contained in 1841, 1,953 inhabitants, and in 1851, 1,927,
