FLIXTON BY BUNGAY
TM 38 NW
2/1 Dovecot at Flixton Hall
(formerly listed as Pigeon
1.9.53 Cote, Flixton Hall)

- II*

Dovecot to the former Flixton Hall. Early C17. Red brick and plaintiles.
Circular, with a conical roof; the brick is laid in English Bond, and the roof
surmounted by an octagonal wooden cupola with semi-circular arched openings
and concave roof. 3 square window openings at different levels, with
chamfered surrounds to the brickwork: one has an original leaded-paned
casement window. A small original doorway, set high with chamfered surround
and plank door. Inside, 23 tiers of small, square nesting boxes are set into
the walls. A central post, with a circular platform on top about 15 feet from
the ground, has a ladder joined to it. The ladder has a single central shaft
to which rungs are attached, and rotates with the post so that the nesting-
boxes can be reached.
