Description

This is a dovecote located about 10 meters southwest of the Manor House, likely dating from the 17th century and restored in the early 20th century. It is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof and features a circular shape. The apex of the roof has a colonnade entry with a bell-cast capping made of stone slates. There is a small doorway on the north side. Inside, the potence has been restored, and the dovecote is still in use.
