Dovecote at Patcham Court Farm is a brick-built dovecote located approximately eighty metres north-west of All Saints Church in Patcham, Sussex. The structure dates from the post-medieval period and represents the type of utilitarian agricultural building that would have been essential to a substantial farmstead, providing both a source of fresh meat through pigeon husbandry and a practical means of manure collection for fertiliser. The dovecote's brick construction and surviving architectural features reflect the building practices and agricultural economy of its era. As a designated ancient monument, it preserves evidence of the farming practices and domestic economy of the Sussex countryside during the post-medieval period.
