Inside the dovecote at a house "near Westerham"


Dovecotes could be really simple or very fancy. This one, as you can see, is very large. I picked it because it's from a country house near Westerham, Kent. When Mr Collins writes his first letter announcing his visit , his address is "near Westerham", so you can imagine this as an appendage to Rosings Park, or if you wish, to Hunsford parsonage. I personally think it's a bit too grand for that, but never mind...
