It includes the settlements of Caus Forest, Lake, Marche, Newtown, Stoney Stretton, Vennington, Wallop, Westbury, Whitton, Winsley and Yockleton. It lies 8 miles west of the town of Shrewsbury, very close to the Wales-England border. It is located at 135m altitude. It had a population of 1,352 according to the 2011 census.[2] In 2005, Westbury parish expanded with the annexation of half of the former Wollaston parish. It is situated on the B4386 road which travels from Shrewsbury to Montgomery. The village has a primary school (St Mary's CE Aided), a Royal Mail Post Office, a Marstons Pub called 'The Lion', a medical practice surgery, and a cemetery on Hinwood Road. HistoryDuring the Roman settlement of Britain it was an outpost of Wroxeter. In about 1848, a piece of lead was found with markings of the name of the Roman Emperor Aurelian.[3] About a mile from Westbury lie the scant ruins of Caus Castle, which was originally used as a border stronghold.[3] The castle was built in the late 11th century.[4] In 1870–72, Westbury was described by John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales like this: "WESTBURY, a township and a parish in Atcham district, Salop. The township lies on the Shrewsbury and Welshpool railway, 11½ miles W by S of Shrewsbury; contains a village of its own name; and has a post-office under Shrewsbury, and a r[ailway]. station. Real property, £6,174; of which £200 are in mines. Pop[ulation]. in 1851, 1,497; in 1861, 1,655. Houses, 298. The property is not much divided. The parish includes Minsterley chapelry, and forms a sub-district. Acres, 11,274. Rated property in 1869, £16,158. Pop., 2,545. Houses, 476. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £766. Patron, R. Cholmondeley, Esq. The church is good. The p[erpetual]. curacy of Minsterley is a separate benefice. There are dissenting chapels, an endowed school with £30 a year, and charities £44."[5] In 1831 the dominating occupation was working in agriculture and farming.[6] There were no manufacturing jobs in 1831.[6] In 2001 there were 80, which decreased to 52 in 2011.[7][8] Several coal and lead mines were being worked near Shrewsbury and Westbury at the former time. Many collieries were closed by 1921, with the last closing in 1941.[9] Two Prisoner of War (POW) camps were located about 7 miles North of Westbury during WW2.[10] The nearest in Nesscliffe was a "pre-existing camp serving an ordnance depot. [It is] presently used by the army as Nesscliffe Training Camp".[11] RailwaysPreviously served by Westbury railway station (Shropshire) on the Cambrian Line. Notable people
