Description

The building is a tower adjacent to Eastern House, dating from the early 19th century. It was originally a dovecote and is constructed from squared stone with dressings, topped by a slate roof in the Gothick style. The tower features two tall stages separated by a band. It has various windows with raised stone surrounds, including an upper window on the east side that is a two-light design with pointed heads and a column mullion. Above the band, there are two tiers of pigeon holes that are now boarded over, and the structure is capped with a projecting parapet supported by moulded corbels. This tower folly or dovecote is loosely inspired by the dovecote of Hartburn parish church.
