Willington Dovecote and Stables

A Tudor dovecote built by Sir John Gostwick, who served as Cardinal Wolsey's Master of Horse. This was a man who thought big; fully 1500 nesting boxes for pigeons line the walls of the dovecote. The cote and adjoining stable block are thought to have been built with stone from Newnham Priory. Admission by written appointment only; phone for details.
