Summary
[edit]DescriptionView from an ancient dovecot - geograph.org.uk - 1184175.jpg |
English: View across the Monnow Valley from the doorway of the early 14th-century dovecot at Garway, Herefordshire. The doorway was deliberately low and narrow so that a person entering might block the birds who might try to escape.
Over the narrow doorway is a triangular, weathered tympanum with faded inscription istud columbarium factum fuit per Ricardum in 1326: "In the year of our Lord 1326 this dovecote was made by Brother Richard de Biri". Audrey Tapper's Knights Templar & Hospitaller in Herefordshire states "with an internal diameter of 17 feet 6 inches and walls 3 feet 10 inches thick. Arranged around the interior walls, in 19 rows are 666 L-shaped nesting spaces with landing ledges, each large enough for two parent birds and two chicks." |
