History of The Site
The first part of the name Urishay is derived from "Ulric" or "Urri" who was a twelfth-century tenant of the estate. The second part of the name comes from the word "Hay", meaning an enclosure in open woodland where wild game could be trapped.
Although the location is referred to as Urishay Castle, there is some doubt as to whether it actually served as such or whether it was just a large house.
