Dovecote In Churchyard, About 15 Metres South West Of Church, Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The dovecote, located about 15 metres south-west of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, is a structure that may have been part of the former manor house estate. It dates from the 17th century or possibly earlier. The building is constructed of coursed ham stone rubble and features a stone slated conoid roof. At the top, there is a small glover formed by a circular flat slab supported by four slender turned stone balusters, topped with a ball finial. The dovecote is circular in shape and has four buttresses with offsets. On the north side, there is a low plain doorway, and on the southwest side, there is a small dormer window with a stone slate roof and checks. Although the interior has not been seen, it is reported to contain about 400 nesting boxes.
