The Bruton Dovecote is a limestone tower that was built between the 15th and 17th century. It seems likely that this square three storey structure was originally erected as a watch tower. From surviving relieving arches it appears that the building at one time had four two light windows on the middle floor and possibly a door opening on the south-west elevation.
There are only 200 pigeon holes.

I really like the detail in the PiP showing the interior - I'm guessing there would have been wooden ladders of some sort at one time.
Also...........I now realise how those little square mailboxes in offices got the name pigeonholes!
Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Keith Burton:
Yes there were apparently ladders and at some point there were 3 floors and a fireplace!
Ha ha, yes that clicked with me too - Pigeonholes!!
