Hailes Castle, Stanway
Hailes Castle was a castle in the village of Stanway, Gloucestershire in Gloucestershire, England.
The castle was built around the 11th or early 12th century near the church of St Peters' in the village.[1] The castle was moated, although this has since been filled in.[1] The castle was strengthened by Ralph of Worcester at the start of the difficult years of the Anarchy, with Hailes Castle playing a role in the conflict between 1139-45.[2] The castle was probably demolished in the 1240s to make way for the construction of Hailes Abbey.[1]
