Apley Castle, Medieval fortified manor in Hadley, England

The castle features a central courtyard surrounded by stone walls, with remaining medieval elements including a chapel and service block.

The Charlton family received a license to fortify their manor house in 1327, transforming it into a strategic stronghold near Shrewsbury.

The castle witnessed significant architectural changes from the 14th to 17th centuries, reflecting the evolution of English domestic building styles.

The castle buildings underwent renovation in 1996, converting the former stables and medieval sections into residential accommodations.

The castle chapel contains fragments of 14th-century wall paintings, preserved despite the removal of the original roof structure.
