Description

Ten historic dovecotes: Willington, Kinwarton, Wichenford, Hawford, Garway, Dunster, Luntley Court, Wellow, Bruton and Phantassie. An architectural selection, not an age or size ranking. Wellow is in Somerset, not Nottinghamshire. Bruton was probably a watchtower originally and was converted to a dovecote later. Dunster’s present structure is considered sixteenth-century, distinct from the earlier history of the priory. Timber frames and roofs underwent later repairs. Phantassie is not the neighboring watermill. Archival photographs do not establish present condition, bird occupancy, ownership or visitor access.
