Inside Kinwarton Dovecote.

Kinwarton Dovecote is circular 14th-century dovecote situated on the edge of the village of Kinwarton, near Alcester, Warwickshire, England. The dovecote is in the ownership of the National Trust and is a scheduled monument.[1]

The building still houses doves to this day and is noted for its "potence" (a pivoted ladder) which provides access to the nesting boxes.
