Cas-lai/Hayscastle church interior
Once a simple single-cell church, a wall was inserted at some point to create a nave and chancel, the arch being only 5 feet wide. The font is C13 but the pulpit and stained glass were added in 1928.

Churchyard, Cas-lai/Hayscastle
The churchyard, which is well-tree'd, is of a roughly circular shape, which, along with the low, Celtic-style church, suggests that this was a pagan holy place Christianized long before the Normans colonized this region of the Englishry.

Cas-lai/Hayscastle church
The tiny church squats low and long, Celtic-style, in this Norman village. Evidently Mediaeval in origin but restored in the 1860s.
The Pevsner guide states it is dedicated to St David (in whose prebendary it fell) but everywhere else gives it as St Mary the Virgin's.

Motte at Cas-lai/Hayscastle
A tree-covered mound is all that remains of Haye's Castle, one of several such earth fortifications in the area, erected by the Normans advancing from the coast and attempting to take control of the hinterland. There is no sign of a bailey but the motte still possesses a boggy moat, seen here in the foreground.
