The Bulletin  

‘The Bulletin,” Vol. 70 —No. 3641  

Wednesday, November 23, 1949  

Price 6d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Seppelts  

an ancient border market  

town north of Shrewsbury, derives  

its name from St, Oswald, king of  

Northumberland who was killed in  

battle against Penda, the heathen king of  

Mercia, in 742. The ancient seal of the  

town depicts King Oswald bearing  

sword and an oak branch. Owing to its  

position Oswestry dominated the sur-  

rounding country, and for centuries it was  

the fortified key to the Welsh Marches.  

Its castle was held by Norman Fitzalan,  

who, in common with other Lords of the  

Marches, was greatly concerned in the  

subjection of the Welsh. The few re-  

maining fragments of this ancient castle  

testify to the strength of its ramparts,  

which were mile in circumference.  

In 1165 Henry II made the town his  

headquarters in his abortive attempt to  

subdue the Welsh tribes, and just over  

200 years later Richard II held Parlia-  

ment here. Oswestry was held for the  

king during the Civil War, but sur-  

rendered after its second siege in June,  

1644. Under Cromwell the fortifications  

of the town were reduced and the castle  

and walls were demolished.  

The Church of St. Oswald, shown in  

the accompanying illustration, is one of  

the largest parish churches in England. It  

stands on the site of monastery built in  

the sixth century. The first recorded  

evidence of church is in charter given  

by lieutenant of Roger of Montgomery  

to the monks of St. Peter’s, Shrewsbury,  

in the eleventh century. In the fourteenth  

century, however, the town was attacked  

and burned by the Welsh and the church  

destroyed. It was rebuilt and again de-  

stroyed in 1644, during the Civil War.  

Much of the present church dates from  

1873, when the interior was reconstructed.  

St. Oswald is also commemorated in the  

name of nearby well which in medieval  

times was believed to have curative  

properties. Its legend is that after the  

battle during which Oswald was killed  

his head was hung on pole by the pagan  

victors later large bird carried it off  

and dropped it from great height and  

waters gushed up on the spot where it  

fell.  

Every year during the last week of  

June or first week in July large wool sales  

are held in Oswestry, when 45,000 to  

50,000 fleeces are dealt with. The wool  

is mainly from Welsh Crossbred and  

Kerry Hill sheep or lambs, and also  

includes pure Shropshire and Suffolk  

wool.

coming Christmas. You’ll have to act at once for Christmas will soon be here. Gpt details
