Free standing circular dovecote. Early C16, with roof timbers replaced
C20. Roughly coursed rubble stone with occasional repairs in brick, with a
coved stone eaves-cornice. Four ashlar buttresses of two stages are set
symmetrically around the circumference. Clay tiled conical roof, with an
octagonal cedar-wood lantern, C20 replacement. The dovecote is entered from
the east through a low ashlar doorway with a chamfered four centred head.
The internal wall face has under 600 pigeon-holes formerly accessible by a
wooden ladder on a cantilevered frame which pivots on a central post. (RCHM
