one horse.

in One Streetin right next to the butcher and site of the old New Gate, is the pharmacy which deals with our meds...a white Horse is in the gable above the shop ....the horse is in the crest of the FitzAlan family.

FitzAlan means son of Alan, a name referring to Alan FitzFlaad the sheriff of Shropshire in the early 12th century
The FitzAlans were free to rule Oswestry and their other Welsh border lordships as semi-independent Marcher barons

This power base and the FitzAlans' important role providing a buffer zone between England proper and the marauding Welsk, were major ingredients in the family's success...

the things you find out when getting your monthly meds .....:):)
