Description
The Dovecote at Stoke College is a 15th-century red brick tower featuring a design that includes a portcullis and chains in the brickwork. Two of its faces display what seems to be the initial "I" and a bishop's mitre lying sideways. The ground floor has two four-centered archways, located on the south and east sides. The roof is tiled and has small entrance gablets for the dovecote. This structure was part of the College of St John the Baptist, which was founded by Edmund Mortimer, the 5th Earl of March, when he converted the priory into a college for secular clergy in 1415. The college was dissolved in 1548.
