Dovecote at Hawford Grange is a brick-built dovecote of seventeenth-century date located in Worcestershire. The structure exemplifies the domestic agricultural architecture of the early modern period, when such buildings served the practical purpose of housing pigeons for meat and eggs, whilst also functioning as status symbols for property owners of sufficient standing. The dovecote retains physical evidence of its original function in the form of nesting boxes integrated into its interior fabric. Such monuments remain significant records of rural economy and settlement patterns during the early modern era.
