Dovecote at Manor Farm is a stone-built dovecote located in Nottinghamshire, England. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents the type of agricultural building typically associated with manorial estates, where the breeding and management of pigeons provided an important source of protein and fertiliser for the landholding. The dovecote survives as a substantial stone construction, demonstrating the investment made by its owners in this practical but status-conscious building type. As a listed ancient monument, it remains evidence of the agricultural practices and social hierarchy of medieval England.
