Dovecote

I found this Dovecote during a walk around the Old Hall at Minster Lovell recently. The Hall was built in the 1400s and has been looking rather sad for itself since the 1700s when part of it was demolished so the stone could be used for building elsewhere. Recycling has been around for a long time, probably for ever. The Dovecote is still intact and still attracts doves, although I doubt if any of them end up on the dinner table any more… The site is now in the care of English Heritage.
