Description
Grade II. Former dovecote, now workshop. Early - mid C18, altered. Thin chequer brick, small moulded wooden cornice below altered boarded eaves. Old tile pyramid roof with square central lantern, now bricked up. S. side has C20 brick chimney. 2 storeys, one bay. 3-light barred wooden casements to W. side, C20 door with gabled wooden hood to north (B7).
Lipscomb (1847) refers to a dovecote that was once a chapel (B1); this is perhaps a confusion with the chapel at Shipton Lee (CASS 00763:02).
Historic building assessment suggests the dovecote was built in about 1720, and adapted for domestic occupation in the late 19th century, remaining as a cottage into the 1930s. See report for detail (B12).
