Naunton Dovecote
Naunton, Gloucestershire GL54 3AA - England, UK

Map
Naunton's famous local Dovecote is Grade II listed and an Ancient Monument. Like many dovecotes, it is stone built with a four-gabled design. Unlike many dovecotes, it is little changed since it was built, with most of the nesting holes still intact, although a small lean-to has been added to the outside. It has probably been saved from worse mutilation by the river that flows nearby. When the price of corn rose around 200 years ago, many Dovecotes suffered this fate. This one was simply converted into a watermill. The wheel was removed in 1952.
