| Title | Correspondence relating to the preservation of the Dovecote, Farm Close, Marcham. |
| Description | (Willcocks was asked to report on the dovecote by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. Willcocks argued for the preservation of the building as it is the last surviving of the seven dovecotes that had existed in Marcham and the society asked for a grant to restore it but were refused. No steps had been taken to restore the dovecote by 1972. Includes a copy of a photograph of the dovecote taken for the Local History Recording Scheme in 1965; an article from 'The Times' on 'Ancient Origins of the Dovecote', 1965; site plans showing the location of the dovecote; 1958; and rough drawings and notes.) |
