Description
The pigeon house at Boynton Hall is a Grade II listed structure, likely built in the late 18th century, which incorporates re-used medieval masonry and sculptured fragments. It features a square plan and is constructed of ashlar and brick with a slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and has a prominent high hollow-chamfered plinth. The doorway is chamfered and flat-headed, adorned with 14th-century carving of a female head above it, and there is a moulded string at the first floor level. The verges are plain and close. Inside on the first floor, the walls are lined with brick nesting holes. The materials for this pigeon house may have been sourced from the rebuilding of Boynton church between 1768 and 1770. At the time of the re-survey, the structure was disused.
