Dovecote at Cresswell Home Farm is a stone-built dovecote located in Northumberland, England. The structure dates from the seventeenth century and represents a significant example of agricultural heritage from the early modern period. Constructed in stone with provision for numerous nesting holes, the dovecote would have served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for food production, a common feature of substantial farmsteads of its era. The building survives as a testament to the farming practices and domestic economy of post-medieval Northumberland.
