Development History
June 2008: External inspection finds the once lost (overgrown by foliage) doocot largely intact but now roofless and beginning to show signs of further decay which could potentially cause a partial collapse in the future.
April 2011: External inspection finds some external pointing has taken place. The building remains roofless and unconsolidated.
7 January 2015: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously.
