Bruton Dovecote
Image: © Chris Heaton Taken: 2 Feb 2022
Grade II Listed Building administered by the National Trust. Standing on a hill to the south of Bruton, the date of construction is not entirely known - somewhere between the 15th and 17th Century. It may have been a watchtower, before being converted to a dovecote. Looking inside it is slightly messy, and still occupied by several pigeons. More of an impressive exterior feature.
