Eardisley

Eardisley is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of the centre of Kington. Eardisley is in the Wye valley in the northwest of the county, close to the border with Wales.
The village is part of the "Black and white village trail", having many timber-framed buildings along its high street. Recent dendrochronology dating work on timbers in these buildings has revealed that some parts date back to the 14th century.
Recorded as Herdeslege in 1086, Eierdesl' in 1249 and Erdesleye in 1269, the name is believed to derive from an Old English personal name, perhaps Ægheard. Eardisley Park estate includes the site of Eardisley Castle. The manor house built during the Georgian period burned down in 1999 and was replaced with a replica in 2003.
