Oswestry is a town in Shropshire, close to the Welsh border. It is the 3rd largest town in Shropshire, after Telford and Shrewsbury. It's population is 37,308 as of 2001. The area has long been settled. Old Oswestry is the site of a large Iron Age hill fort with evidence for occupation dating back to the 550s BC. The Battle of Maserfield is thought to have been fought here in 642, between the Anglo-Saxon kings Penda and Oswald. Oswald's body was hung from a tree, which became known as "Oswald's Tree", which evolved into "Oswestry". The spring Oswald's Well is supposed to have originated where a raven dropped one of Oswald's arms.
