You have to look harder to identify the cheesepress. The dovecote is self evident, as is the farm cart to give it a more mundane name. The cheesepress is the square block of sandstone at the left end of the dwarf wall with a blue painted wooden framework that allows the block to be raised and lowered in a controlled way onto the parcel of cheese curds to extract moisture. Not usually done at the entrance to a domestic garage.
