Dovecote at Patcham Court Farm is a brick-built structure located approximately 80 metres north-west of All Saints Church in Patcham, Sussex. The dovecote dates from the 18th century and represents a functional agricultural building typical of prosperous farming estates of that period. Constructed in brick, the structure would have housed domestic pigeons, which provided an important protein source for the household and served as a symbol of status and land ownership among the gentry and substantial farmers. The building remains designated as an ancient monument in recognition of its historical and architectural significance as a surviving example of rural domestic economy from the Georgian era.
