Medieval Hale Barns was an outlying area of the township of Hale, but a growth in prosperity led to it becoming a separate settlement. The village gets its name from the tithe barn that used to stand there. Before the industrial revolution, Hale Barns was an agricultural village, but since then evolved into a commuter settlement. St Ambrose College Roman Catholic boys' grammar school is in Hale Barns and the village is also home to Ringway golf club.

Ullerwood Castle
Ullerwood Castle is an early medieval castle, possibly a shell keep, in Ringway, a civil parish on the southern border of Manchester, England. The castle is first referred to in 1173, in a document stating that Hamon de Masci held the castles of Ullerwood and Dunham. There is no other contemporary documented reference to the site. Ullerwood Castle has been confused with Watch Hill Castle in nearby Bowdon, but the two are separate sites, though both were probably owned by the de Masci family. The castle site lies beneath a house and is surrounded by trees.
It is possible that the castle stood at the top of Castle Hill at 53°20'57"N, 2°17'32"W. Examination of aerial imagery on Google Earth indicates a circular feature with less well-defined adjacent structures to the south-east. The site is very close to a runway at Manchester Airport and lies within a restricted area.
