Maesbury
Maesbury is a small scattered community in Shropshire, England, south of the town of Oswestry, falling within the Oswestry Rural parish.
The name is derived from maes, meaning field or plain in Brythonic Welsh, and burh, meaning fort in Old English.
Maesbury traditionally consists of five hamlets: Ball, Gwernybrenin, Newbridge, Maesbury and Maesbury Marsh, though the wider area now includes Ashfield, Aston and Woolston.
A biennial canal festival is held in Maesbury on the Montgomery Canal which passes through the village.
The local small primary school, Maesbury Primary School, located at Ashfield Close, closed its doors in 2013. The building reopened as a children's nursery after renovation in 2017.
The village has a war memorial in the form of a rough-hewn cross near the roadside beside the church. It was unveiled following the First World War by Brigadier-General J V Campbell VC, in 1921. Local men who died serving in the Second were later added.
The village is connected to the nearest town Oswestry via the 576 bus route which also connects to Shrewsbury.
Maesbury Marsh is at the southern end of the area. There is a public house here, located by the main road bridge over the Montgomery Canal, called The Navigation Inn. There is another public house in Ball called The Original Ball on the road into Oswestry.
