Description

The dovecote at Grange Park is an early 19th-century structure, possibly with earlier origins. It is built from coursed limestone rubble and features a hipped slate roof. The dovecote is two stories high and has a single window range. It has a rectangular shape with a door on the south side and a latticed window above, both of which have wooden lintels. The building includes quoins and brick eaves. Inside, there is a complete set of roostings for the pigeons.
