Dovecote, Circa 30 Metres South East Of Thornage Hall

The dovecote, located approximately 30 meters southeast of Thornage Hall, dates back to 1728. It is constructed of red brick in English bond and features a square shape with a hipped roof made of red and black glazed pantiles, topped with a square wooden glover. Each side of the dovecote has a moulded brick cornice and a moulded brick platband, which is plain on the north side. The north side also has a square shuttered opening that is blocked. A stone plaque on the south side is inscribed with "T A/1728." There is a small 4-centred stone arched doorway on the west side. The interior has a renewed roof and contains 20 tiers of holes on all four sides, with brick spokes projecting from each corner towards the center. The dovecote forms a group with Thornage Hall and the associated barns.
