Weobley Castle was a ringwork and bailey castle in the English county of Herefordshire (grid reference SO40365135). The castle belonged to the De Lacy family who also owned the castles of Ludlow and Ewyas Harold. Walter de Lacy, as Lord of Meath, was one of the most powerful magnates in Ireland. King John I of England doubted his loyalty and so took de Lacy's property into his possession. The estates were put under the custodianship of William de Braose, de Lacy's father-in-law. In 1208 de Braose used Weobley Castle to attack the king's property in Herefordshire. He fled to Ireland, seeking safety with Walter de Lacy in Trim Castle; John pursued him and punished the pair. Walter de Lacy, his brother Hugh, and William de Braose failed to appease the king and fled to France. As a result, all the de Lacy property was taken into the possession of the Crown. All that remains of the castle are severely damaged earthworks.

Weobley ( WEB-lee) is an ancient settlement and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. Formerly a market town, the market is long defunct and the settlement is today promoted as one of the county's black and white villages owing to its abundance of old timber-framed buildings. Although it has the historical status of a town and is referred to as such in the sources, it nowadays refers to itself as a village.

Foxley is a rural estate, and the former Foxley Manor country seat, in Herefordshire, England. The Manor is associated with the judicial, political, artistic and later ennobled Price family, and became the site of the Second World War Foxley Camp. Foxley estate, approximately 7 miles (11 km) north-west from the city and county town of Hereford, is mostly in the civil parish of Yazor, with the south-east part in Mansel Lacy, while also extending into parts of the parishes of Brinsop and Wormsley and Weobley. At the south-east border of Yazor parish, the former Foxley Manor house (SO4138046599), was centred on a 1 mile (1.6 km) radius between the village of Mansel Lacy at the south-east, and the largely depopulated settlements of Yazor at the west, Yarsop at the north-west, and Wormsley at the north-east. The estate is within a south-east to north-west aligned horseshoe valley (alternatively named Yarsop Valley), of 1,600 yards (1,500 m) long by 1,300 yards (1,200 m) wide, with its main entrance in Mansel Lacy. The valley bottom rises from approximately 340 feet (104 m) above mean sea level at the south-east, to 510 feet (155 m) at the Foxley Manor (remains of) north-west end. Through the estate flows a stream, interrupted by seven c.1800 or earlier man-made lakes and ponds, starting at Yarsop, entering the valley at the north, and with largely wooded margins, flowing at the north and parallel to the main valley road, past a 240 feet (73 m) by 100 feet (30 m) pond (SO4158946686), between the stream and the Foxley Manor site, then flowing at the north around the remains of the Camp, past the site of an old saw mill (SO4204546416), before passing out of the estate to lakes and ponds in Mansel Lacy village. The sides of the valley are wooded, at the south-west by Nash Wood which rises to 610 feet (190 m), and north-east by Bache Wood, rising to 790 feet (240 m). Through the valley bottom runs a road, the former processional way from the estate entrance at Mansel Lacy village, north-west to the country house and ancillary buildings of the Manor, and beyond to the estate border at a junction with the minor road running south from Yarsop at the north to the A480 road at St Mary the Virgin's church in Yazor. Opposite St Mary's (SO4066046538), is the 1887-built gatehoused north-west road to the rear of the previous Foxley Manor house, which also links to a network of woodland bridle paths within the south-west Nash Wood. From the valley road, chiefly running north-east, are access roads and tracks to remaining estate and residential buildings and, bordering both sides of the road (SO4185046420), are concrete stands indicating the position of wartime Foxley Camp structures. Between these and Bache Wood at the north is the area previously designated "The Lawns" (SO4203446660), now converted to coppicing and arable use.Significant extant buildings of Foxley estate include the former 1860s stable block set around a courtyard 70 yards (64 m) north from the Foxley Manor remains. The stable block itself incorporates, on the south side, a c.1700 Grade II listed dovecot (SO4132946698). The two-storey dovecot dates to c.1700, but with 1868 alterations. Of octagonal-plan, it is of brick on a sandstone plinth, with a "tiled roof and wooden tiled lantern", with its entrance and principal side facing north-east into the stable block courtyard. The interior at the time of listing contained "many nesting holes and ledges". At 500 yards (460 m) south from the stable block, and in Nash Wood, is the listed Ragged Castle (SO4132846236), a trapezoidal-plan gazebo dating to 1743, with a restoration in 1975. The folly structure contains two flights of stairs and a roof with battlemented parapets. It was built to provide panoramic views, and as a memorial to the Davenport family. The gatehouse, Yazor Lodge, at the head of the drive opposite St Mary's church on the A480 was built to plans by William Chick (1829-1892), of Hereford in 1872.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, in King's Pyon, Herefordshire, England, is a medieval church dating from the 12th century. It is a Grade I listed building. The church is cruciform in plan and dates from the 12th, 13th and 14th century with additions and restoration in 1872. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and some tufa with sandstone slate and tile roofs. The earliest surviving masonry is a section of the north wall of the nave, which can be dated to the early Norman period; possibly as early as the late eleventh century. The church sits on top of a steep slope above a giant redwood tree to the north, planted in memory of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It is one of the Pyon Group of parishes west of Leominster. The parish also includes the small hamlet of Ledgemoor, between Kings Pyon and Weobley, which has its own stone-built mission chapel, and a village hall. Although King's Pyon used to have its own village hall it was demolished almost 60 years ago, and thus the church itself is now the focus of community activities.
