For the birds ...

This little farm building has (what I think is) a little dovecote on the top. Certainly the birds were finding it quite interesting when I was there. For once it's very easy to date this building - as whoever built it helpfully formed a large 1753 in darker bricks on the gable end. A rather charming little building I think. [Edit 2011] Thanks to Jonathan Kington for pointing out that this is a Grade II listed dovecote.
