    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

    In the publisher's original green cloth binding.

    This volume is a first edition.

    This copy is illustrated with 28 monochrome plates, documenting varied dovecote architecture, though this copy is lacking the portrait frontispiece of the author. Collated.

    This volume is a scarce and richly illustrated survey of Nottinghamshire’s medieval dovecotes, specifically those built solely for pigeons, that were still standing in Nottinghamshire and its border areas at the time. The dovecotes include those at Wollaton, Brant Broughton, Syerston Hall, and Thoroton Hall.
