Dovecote at Culham Manor is a Grade II listed building situated approximately 110 metres south-west of St Paul's Church in Culham, Oxfordshire. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents a substantial example of a domestic dovecote, a building type that served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for food production on manorial estates. Such dovecotes were typically the preserve of wealthy landowners, and their presence on the manor grounds indicates the status and resources of the Culham estate. The building survives as evidence of medieval agricultural practice and the organisation of manorial farming systems in the Thames Valley.
