Maesbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maesbury is a small scattered community in Shropshire, England, south of the town of Oswestry.
Maesbury Marsh is at the southern end of the area. There is a public house here - the Navigation. The Shropshire Union Canal/Ellesmere Canal is being restored in this area at the moment, this stretch usually being known as the Montgomery Canal.
Maesbury traditionally consists of five hamlets: Ball, Gwernybrenin, Newbridge, Maesbury and Maesbury Marsh, though the wider area now includes Aston and Woolston.
In nearby Woolston is St Winifred's Well, which is believed to have been a resting place for monks travelling from Chester to Shrewsbury Abbey with her body.
The settlement falls within the borough of Oswestry and the Oswestry Rural parish.
