Oswestry is the birthplace of First World War poet Wilfred Owen, and there’s a statue and memorial gun for him in Cae Glas Park. At the end of the north wall is a monument which commemorates the Yale family, who are remembered for founding a university in America. A clue to its age lies in the style of dress of the two figures - which is late 16th Century. Ostensibly, the wording of the memorial plaque reads; "Underneath are interred the remains of Margaret the wife of David Yale Esq., daughter and Heiress of Edward Maurice of Cae Mor, Gent. She departed this life the 20th day of December 1754, aged 66. Also lie the remains of David Yale Esq., who dyed Jan. 29th 1763, aged 81." Closer inspection reveals an inscription (almost all of which has disappeared) on the canopy which is the original memorial and reads: "In memory of Mr Hugh Yale alderman of this town and Dorothy his wife, daughter of Roger Roden Esq., of Burton in the county of Denbigh whose bodies are interred in ye chancel of theis Church commonly called St Mary's before its demolition in the late wars, anno 1616. They gave to ye poor of this town the yearly interest and benefice of one hundred pounds to continue for ever, besides other good acts of charity."
