BURGH AND TUTTINGTON
39/0/10006 THE STREET 22-MAY-06 Dovecote and boundary wall approximately 30 metres NNE of Burgh Mill
GV II Dovecote and integral boundary wall. Early C19. Red brick with a timber glover supporting a pantile roof. Circular in plan with external diameter of circa 140 cms. A low boundary wall is incorporated in the structure and extends to the south west. The short tower is crowned with a timber gable glover rectangular in plan. A barrel section with two iron bands, probably a former millstone tun, encircles the top of the tower directly beneath the glover in order to restrain the brickwork. The glover has arched flight holes in its two gables. There is a small doorway at the bottom of the tower and the interior has several nesting boxes incorporated in the brickwork. The low boundary wall has a few surviving semicircular coping bricks at the junction with the tower; the rest of the wall has been heightened and extended past the dovecote and this part is not of special architectural interest. Forms a group with Burgh Mill (q.v.) approx. 30 m. to the south, and with The Mill House (q.v.) to the north. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE. This is a very unusual dovecote both for its small size, its shape and the link with the nearby mill, for it incorporates very probably a disused millstone tun.
