Full Description

Pigeoncote to the NE corner of a cobbled courtyard north of The Old Rectory (MNT 18362). Cobbled courtyard surrounded on the east by a stable range and to the north by garaging both attached to the pigeoncote. (1)
Whilst the outbuildings are considered to be curtilage listed, it has been suggested that the single-storey ranges may pre-date construction of the present vicarage, but the two-storey dovecote appears contemporary with the architectural style of the 1834 vicarage. (2)
The single-storey ranges butt up to the dovecote suggesting that they post-date the dovecote rather than pre-date it. (3)
See MNT18362 for main house.
