Description
The dovecote at Hardingham Hall is an 18th-century structure made of brick, featuring a roof of plain tiles and pantiles. It has a circular shape with a doorway located at mid-height. There is one or possibly two lunette ventilation openings that are mostly obscured by ivy. The dovecote is topped with a dentil cornice and a conical roof that includes a pigeon lantern and a weather vane. Inside, there are nesting boxes for the pigeons. In the early 20th century, the dovecote was moved intact from its original location.
