Hailes, Gloucestershire

Hailes (also spelt Hayles) is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Stanway, in the Tewkesbury district, in Gloucestershire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of Winchcombe.

One toponymist has suggested that the name derives from an unrecorded British name for the stream flowing through the village, Saliā ("the dirty one").

[5] Between 1928 and 1960 the village was served by Hayles Abbey Halt railway station on the Honeybourne Line.

The station was reopened in 2017 to serve the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway.

[7] The church is part of the Winchcombe benefice and occasional services are held.
