The Barnburgh Hall Dovecote will be open to the public on Sunday between 10.30am and 4pm.

It stands in the grounds of Barnburgh Hall, off Hall Street in Barnburgh, which was demolished in 1967 and dates from around the 15th century.

The dovecote is being opened this weekend to coincide with the annual Heritage Open Days programme, where many other historic buildings not usually open for viewing will be made accessible to the public.
