Lytes Cary Manor - Dovecote

Lytes Cary is a  beautiful manor house in Somerset.  At the end of the formal garden there's a a dovecote, which is in fact a disguised water tower, so as not to detract from the house! It's seen better days but has such charm. I am a sucker for these sort of buildings, especially when they are falling into  disrepair, as such amazing textures are created. I took some artistic license with the background!
