Description
This is a dovecote belonging to the Castle Donington Tennis Club, dating from the early to mid-18th century with slight alterations. It is constructed of red brick featuring a diaper pattern made with blue headers. The roof is pyramid-shaped and covered with tiles, topped by a square wooden entry turret that has 20th-century glazing and a 20th-century cast iron weathervane. The dovecote has two storeys and displays bands of offset brickwork with dentils at the first-floor level and just below the eaves; the lower band includes narrow dentils and a plaster frieze beneath. On the south side, there are 20th-century doors on both floors. Inside, the dovecote contains brick resting boxes, cogged ledges, and a 20th-century floor.
