The Dovecote is seen from the approach lane to the church. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1033902 The house was built circa 1740 as a villa and hunting box for the Duke of Beaufort and extended in 1791. There was probably an earlier building on the site and possibly a Roman villa. The War Department purchased the house and stables in 1898 and it was the home of the Cavalry School from 1904. Later the house served as the Officers' Mess for the School of Infantry. Sold by the Ministry of Defence in the late 1990s, the house was converted in 2004 into two homes and the stables into seven. There is an 18th century dovecote, restored circa 1980, in the grounds.
