Dovecote Approximately 25 Metres To South West Of Dinthill Hall

This dovecote, built around 1734, is located approximately 25 metres southwest of Dinthill Hall. It is constructed of red brick and features a pyramidal slate roof with an octagonal plan and two storeys. The building has a dentil brick eaves cornice and a central wooden glover that includes a round-arched arcade with moulded architraves, imposts, and keystones, topped with a moulded cornice and an ogee lead cap with a weathervane. There are segmental-headed loft openings on the east and south-west sides, with the south-west opening having been widened in the late 20th century. A segmental-headed boarded door is located on the north side. Inside, there are brick nesting boxes and a chamfered ceiling beam, although the loft was not inspected. Historical references indicate a weathervane dated 1870, suggesting that the glover may have been renewed around that time. The dovecote is part of a group of farm buildings associated with Dinthill Hall, which also includes a barn and stables.
