Dovecote at Home Farm 150m south east of Lofts Hall is a post-medieval brick-built structure of historical importance to Essex's agricultural heritage. The dovecote dates from the sixteenth or seventeenth century and represents the type of specialist farming infrastructure that supported the domestic economy of substantial farmsteads during the early modern period. Constructed in brick, the building would have housed pigeons whose meat and droppings provided valuable resources for the farm. The survival of such structures offers evidence of the management practices and economic priorities of rural Essex during the early modern era.
