Dovecote Athelhampton Hall
A shot of the rather charming sixteenth century Dovecote at Athelhampton Hall in Dorset.
Truth to say I had never heard of Athelhampton Hall and had therefore no plans to visit it. We were driving from Dorchester to Tolpuddle to visit the Tolpuddle martyrs museum when we spotted the house through a gate , we pulled in and decided to take a look. Glad we did we only had times see the gardens but they were splendid .
Athelhampton Hall is a Grade I listed 15th-century privately owned country house on 160 acres of parkland. Sir William Martyn had the current Great Hall built in about 1493. A West Wing and Gatehouse and this splendid Dovecote were added in 1550
I have posted a shot of the Hall in the top of the comments
