The Olympic games have their origins in Much Wenlock in Shropshire while the Paralympics have their origins in Stoke Mandeville. In 2012 when the Olympics were held in London, Much Wenlock Parish Council presented an oak tree to Stoke Mandeville Parish Council which was planted on the village green. An information plaque has now been erected in front of the tree. It shows the 2012 Olympic mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville.
