Dovecote ~ Tytherington

Manor Farmhouse, at the north entrance to the village, is a 4-bay 2-storey house from the early 18th century. In the Sutton Veny part of the village, Ashbys (formerly Tytherington Farmhouse) carries a date of 1771. Nearby are a dovecote dated 1810 and a granary and stable of similar date.

I love these different styles of architecture, Rosa. Interesting that the older style of architecture employs curves and circles. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. An unusual dovecote, or should I say doocot! I think it looks older than it actually is. A nice entrance to the village. Cheers, Rosa.

An unusual roof the use of bricks would have been getting more common by then, with the hatred of dovecotes I wonder if many were destroyed . I hope you are keeping reasonably cool, there was rain early this morning so now it's humid :(((( enjoy your day Rosalyn

Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Peter Castell:

There were a couple of brickworks not too far away Peter. I didn't know there was a hatred of dovecotes. No rain yet but a faint breeze today. Still far too hot for me :(
Hope you have a good day too.

The most beautiful buildings. Settled into the landscape. It’s a very grand dovecote and a lovely shape.

Only the lord of the manor and his family and guests ate the young birds, but the doves devastated the peasant farmers crops. i can understand their anger from the damage wood pigeons do on the allotment if it's not netted it's gone

Interesting old buildings indeed. I'm fascinated by Dovecotes, I doubt there are any in Australia and I've only heard of them here - it's hard to believe that the 'well off' actually built substantial buildings to house doves!

What a beautiful sight to see on approaching the village..............it looks especially attractive in the sunshine! A smashing shot Rosa.

I hope you're surviving this heat-wave OK. I have to admit it's becoming a bit much for us - especially trying to sleep at night. I shall be glad for some rain and cooler temperatures.

Our visitors went back yesterday...........it was wonderful to see them after so much time and sad to see them go, but hopefully we'll get down to see them again later in the year.
