Description
SO 9005 BISLEY-WITH-LYPIATT BACK LANE, Bisley Village (east side)
13/9 Cockpit with dovecote approximately 40m south west of Jayne's Court 28.6.60
GV II*
Cockpit with dovecote. Early C19. Coursed rubble limestone; asbestos slate roof. Octagonal. Large round arched opening to each face. Three with small-paned fixed light, others blocked. Large plank doors with timber lintel on north side added after cessation of cockpit use. Plinth with thin projecting string course. Low-pitched hipped roof with projecting eaves on paired brackets. Central octagonal dovecote lantern, rendered with round arched opening on 2 faces. Interior: present board floor covers original cockpit. As entry level is well above the pit it can be assumed that a viewing platform ran round the periphery - no trace of this remaining. Despite these alterations, a rare survival of a purpose-built cockpit, probably built for Captain Hamstead who is said to have created new outbuildings and landscaped gardens between 1811 and 1813.
