Dovecote And Attached Walls Approximately 25 Metres South West Of Manor House

The dovecote, dating from the 17th century, is located approximately 25 meters southwest of the Manor House in Ashby St. Ledgers. It is constructed of squared coursed ironstone with ashlar quoins and features a tile roof. The dovecote has a doorway with moulded stone jambs and a plain stone lintel, along with coped gable ends that include kneelers and ball finials. It is adorned with two louvred wooden lanterns and has 3-light stone-mullioned windows on its side walls. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the southeast corner at the rear is a wall that borders the north side of the churchyard, also from the 17th century, made of coursed squared ironstone with ironstone ashlar coping. A further short section of wall, built from similar materials, connects the dovecote to the gatehouse.
