This website is dedicated to the history and archaeology of Oswestry in Shropshire and it's Welsh borderland neighbourhood. To fully appreciate the rich history and heritage of Oswestry it is necessary consider the part it plays in the history of England and Wales. The split between counties and countries can often be a barrier to finding information and this site attempts to draw together these sources to be more visible to any interested party.
Oswestry-History is a home for new content and become much more than just a collection of links to other sites. Articles such as those written for Parish magazines - or those written by students - or specialist articles which are not published elsewhere. Have you written about your Oswestry business or family History? Then I would be delighted to link to it or publish it here. Please visit the Feedback page.
Archaeology is about the past, present and future - What we can see today of Oswestry's past and what we can pass on to future generations. Various groups in the area are researching and investigating times gone by and would welcome newcomers to share their interests. I am also keen to promote publications which involve the history and archaeology of Oswestry.
