What is recorded here

Urishay Castle Chapel stands inside the castle bailey near Peterchurch, holding the distinction of being Herefordshire’s earliest purpose-built castle chapel. Its plain stone cells have served as a worship space, a blacksmith’s forge, a carpenter’s shop and even a dog kennel, while infant burials hidden beneath the floor suggest the site absorbed both devotion and loss. The building still leans toward memory, preserving a small altar slab and windows that have watched centuries of changing uses.
Urishay Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Herefordshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
