Dovecote, now a garden building. C17, C18 brick infill, C19 floor
inserted when turned into a cottage. Timber frame on high red brick
plinth, red brick infill panels, steep old red tile pyramidal roof. A
tall 2-storeys square structure on the edge of a bank at the middle of
the former farmyard now entered from N by a door next the RH corner post
with a small window above and another to the left. The frame has
corner-posts, middle post on each side, a cross-rail at half the height
of the timber framed part, and close-spaced studs. There are blocked
segmental arched openings low down in the plinth on the E side as if for
cross-ventilation below. Below the eaves on this side is an alighting
shelf and pidgeon holes, the inserted floor is carried on a beam running

corners. Simple rafter roof with centre-posts carrying external knob. A
building retained by Lutyens in his scheme for Hill End (now Langley
