Dovecote and bus shelter
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 8 Mar 2022
A thatched dovecote and bus shelter on Westcott Green. A plaque on the shelter states that "This Dovecote and Bus Shelter were given to the Village of Westcott by John Burnet Geake in memory of his son 2nd Lt. Boyd Burnet Geake who was killed 1st July 1916 at the Battle of the Somme" (see Image for close up). Unusually the letters on the weathervane on the dovecote has the letter T in place of the usual N, to read WEST. (In this photo they are wrongly aligned, but comparison with a 2009 photo (see Image) suggests that this is a recent change, perhaps from wind damage).
