Urishay Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Peterchurch, England.
The remains include a stone motte castle, a 16th-century chapel, and a 17th-century house situated 2.5 kilometers west of Peterchurch in Herefordshire.
The name originates from Ulric, a 12th-century tenant, combined with 'Hay', referring to an enclosure for trapping wild game in woodland.
The chapel contains a preserved stone altar decorated with five crosses, representing medieval religious practices in rural England.
The Friends of Friendless Churches organization maintains the chapel, ensuring public access to this Grade II listed archaeological site.
The Collins Library at Baker University in Kansas displays a 15th-century room from Urishay Castle, installed in 1908.
