Description

Bulwell Dovecote is a dovecote built in the late 17th century and restored around 1985. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and features a pantile roof with brick coped gables and kneelers. The building is two storeys high and has a single bay in an L-plan layout. The central doorway is flanked on the left by a window and on the right by a smaller window, all of which are boarded. Above these openings is a single flight hole with an alighting shelf.

Inside, the first floor contains brick and plaster nest boxes with round-arched openings. The ground floor was originally used as a stable and later converted into a cart shed.

Local climate

Bulwell Dovecote sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
