Nobody in the family can work out why it was there.
Mark Bamford, 55, was helping his partner clear out her late mother's house on Morda Road in Oswestry on Sunday when they uncovered a grenade in an outbuilding.
"She opened it up, thinking it was quite heavy and found a grenade. With one look I knew it was real, and it had a fuse in it. The police arrived within 10 minutes, promptly cordoned off the road and called in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team who removed the device.Police later confirmed the find was - fortunately - inactive.
"A cordon was briefly in place while experts from Explosive Ordnance Disposal attended and examined the device. It was found to be inactive."Mark said it was a relief to find out it wasn't live:"The thought that people just leave live bombs in their shed was mind boggling.
