Description

The remains of a dovecote and an attached wall are located at Pipe Ridware Hall. This structure dates from the 16th or 17th century and is built of red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings, topped with a flat corrugated iron roof. The dovecote has a hexagonal plan, featuring a coped plinth, a moulded cornice, and upper windows with rectangular chamfered surrounds. The north side has a coped brick wall that once formed part of a walled garden surrounding the now-demolished timber-framed mansion of Pipe Ridware Hall.

Inside, the walls of the dovecote are lined with individual nesting boxes. The structure is currently in a derelict state, with two sides demolished and the original pitched roof missing.

A late 18th-century drawing of the site, created shortly before the house's demolition, is found in Stebbing Shaw's "The History and Antiquities of Staffordshire," volume 1, published in 1798.
