Dovecote at Manor Farm is a brick-built dovecote of eighteenth-century date located in Nottinghamshire. The structure exemplifies the functional agricultural architecture typical of the period, serving the practical purpose of housing domestic pigeons for food production and their valuable droppings, which were prized as fertiliser. The dovecote survives as evidence of the farming practices and estate management of the early modern period in the East Midlands. As a listed monument, it represents an important survival of vernacular building tradition from a significant phase in English agricultural development.
