Description
The building is a former meat house, now serving as an electricity substation, located approximately 15 meters east of Sherborne House. It dates from the mid-19th century and matches the style of the nearby stable block. The structure is made of ashlar stone and features a slate roof with an octagonal plan. It has a double wall with low segmental-headed openings around the lower part of each face, except on the north side, which allows for air circulation between the walls. Above these openings, there are blind windows on all sides. The north side has 20th-century louvred doors. At the apex of the roof, there is an octagonal wooden louvred lantern, along with an ogee-curved leaded canopy topped with a weathervane. The interior is not accessible. Some sources suggest that it may have originally been a dovecote and that it was relocated from its original position, as depicted in Kip's engraving in Atkyn's History of Gloucestershire published in 1712.
