Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Pigeon Crees, Cockfield Fell. One of the commoners' rights the people of Cockfield enjoy is to erect pigeon crees such as these. Normally only the Lord of the Manor was permitted to have a dovecote to provide squabs (young pigeons) for his table. If everyone had them the pigeons would have caused havoc with the crops. Nowadays these pigeons are for show and racing but judging by the state of some of the crees young fanciers are not taking up the hobby.
This photo is almost identical to the one I took three years ago 61915. In the intervening years the topmost cree has acquired a verandah and it looks like at least one cree has disappeared. |
