History

Probably very late C17, 1695-1700. The house was rebuilt in 1692 and it seems likely that the dovecote dates from soon after that. The roof was rebuilt in c1990.

Each face has a tall arched niche, with the doorway in the base of one face. Timber modillion cornice. Octagonal roof with lead rolls. An arched opening to each face of the turret, tented lead roof topped by a ship weathervane.

Interior

Interior lined with nesting boxes each with a projecting brick cill. There are said to be 764 boxes (or 831). Central revolving post and potence ladder. Original cross framed roof structure, modern felt and battening.
