Shropshire memories
I have family in Oswesty and my uncle used to have a fruit and veg round. I used to go with him and my aunty sometimes when I was young. I used to love staying in Oswestry, it's my favourite place. I still have lots of relations there now.

The 1901 census shows my grandmother Emma Mainwaring, then aged 14, working as a domestic servant at Kenwicks Park. Thinking that Kenwicks Park was the name of a large country house I started to search for it only to find that Kenwicks Park refers to a locality. Can anyone suggest where I can find the exact house where my grandmother worked?

Extracts From West Felton & Shropshire books

Notice the paths around the castle – walks were first laid out here in the 18th century for the gentry to enjoy. At the time it was a very popular pastime to promenade along such walks, meet friends, gossip and show off your finery in this way.

This round building is a stunning survival. It is all that remains of the round chapel of St Mary Magdalene. Round chapels such as this are extremely rare; they were usually associated with the Knights Templar (as was the case here), a movement that began in England in 1128.

The tree on the right has since been replaced with cherry trees on either side of the west door. These were planted to commemorate AE Housman, the poet most famous for his volume of poems 'A Shropshire Lad' - one poem begins 'Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough'. He died in 1936, and his ashes are buried in the church wall just to the right of this tree.
