OSWESTRY (Shropshire). Has no armorial bearings. Those in use are " Gules, a cross couped argent, between four lions rampant or." Motto — " Floreat Oswestria."

Morris, in his " Armorial Bearings of Shropshire Families," quotes these arms "gu. a cross between four lions rampant or," but neither form has any authority.

The seal represents a figure of King Oswald crowned and seated on a throne, holding in his dexter hand a sword, the sinister grasping a tree.
