Dovecote, circa 160 metres north east of Newton Field Centre, Newton and Little Oakley - Kettering

An exceptionally large late C16/early C17 dovecote of squared coursed limestone, closely laid in tight courses, with stone slate roof and hipped lanterns. Central coping ornamented with Tresham trefoils. Two low round-headed and chamfered doors; one retains its heavy double-rebated door. Interior has around 2000 nesting boxes in two separate lofty chambers. Masonry is generally in fair/good order albeit there are a few isolated missing stones. Roof slates and lanterns are in poor condition. Some patch roof repairs undertaken in 2015 but re-roofing is required.
