listed as Dovecote in grounds of
4.6.52 Quenington Court)
GV I
Dovecote. Reputed to be one mentioned in 1338, belonging to the
Knights Hospitallers, although thought by some to be C17. Small
round structure of rubble stone with projecting square section
string course about 0.5m below projecting eaves of conical stone
slate roof with retractable lantern "lid" with renewed stone ball
finial. Very small low doorway to west with timber lintel and
recessed plank door, slit vent over and to south. Inside wall is
perforated with about 600 dove holes stacked at an angle one above
each other inside wall, above rat rail around which moves revolving
ladder on central wooden pin, thought to be the original ladder (or
potence). Inside roof timbers have been strengthened with steel
straps.
