About this Event
The Dovecote at Abbey Farm, Montacute
Heritage Open Day: Walk up towards the beautiful ancient monastic priory fields and see the restored Grade II listed dovecote with the unique double nesting boxes. The Grade II Listed dovecote at Abbey Farm is isolated in a paddock, the site being scheduled as an ancient monument (remains of the Cluniac priory of St Peter and Paul). In 2015 the current custodians of Abbey Farm undertook an exciting restoration project in order to safeguard the future of this fascinating building for future generations. The dovecote will be open to view. There are information boards regarding its history and dovecotes in general inside the traditionally lime washed building.
