This book explains why it was important to keep pigeons and describes the wide variety of buildings that were constructed to house them over the years.
Their architectural development is followed through from the earliest examples to the most recent, including some that have captured the fancy of great architects.
Many are unique, and while innumerable dovecotes have been lost over the past two centuries, an increasing recognition of their charm and historical significance has caused interest in them to flourish in recent years.

Peter Hansell and his wife Jean spent many years travelling round Great Britain and researching its dovecotes. Armed with cameras and notebooks, they combined the pleasures of exploration in both urban areas and unspoilt countryside with the joys of discovering dovecotes and the many kind and generous people on whose land they stand.
