Description

The bell tower and dovecot, located approximately 25 meters south of The Cottage in Sandywell Park, is dated 1815, as indicated by the initials S.H. in a trefoil-shaped blind panel on the west side. However, it was likely rebuilt or restored in the late 19th century. The structure is made of coursed, squared, and dressed limestone, topped with a stone slate roof. It has a square plan with small gabled dovecots on either side, which are supported by wooden brackets and rise from stone corbels. On the west side, there is an octagonal clock face, while the east side features two small plank hatches. The bell is housed within an open-sided square lantern, which is topped by a curved pyramidal roof adorned with a dragon weather vane at the apex.
