Welcome to Bowling Green

Bowling Green is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Oswestry and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is named after the bowling green that was once located in the center of the village. The bowling green was a popular spot for locals to gather and play games, but it has since been replaced by a small park.

The village of Bowling Green is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and features a number of interesting features, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. Other historic buildings in the village include the Old School House, which was built in the 19th century, and the Bowling Green Inn, which dates back to the 18th century.

Despite its small size, Bowling Green is a vibrant and active community. The village is home to a number of local businesses, including a post office, a convenience store, and a pub. The village also has a number of community groups and organizations, including a gardening club, a history society, and a women's institute. The village hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market, which are popular with locals and visitors alike.
