Britain's What's On Event Guide
Barnburgh Dovecote
Heritage Open Day: This is a Grade II* scheduled monument and was built for the residents of Barnburgh Hall in the late 16th or early 17th century. It is estimated that it might have housed up to 2000 birds in its heyday. Sadly the National Coal Board had Barnburgh Hall demolished in 1969 - claiming that it was suffering from mining subsidence, however the dovecote, stable block and gardener's cottage survived and the dovecote is now cared for by the residents of the new development built
