Moseley Dovecote and Cow House

 

Today I met with Fiona Adams from the Moseley Society to discuss the possibility of using the 18th century Dovecote and adjoining Cow House for my MA exhibition. They were both renovated in the 1980's and are open to the public on a monthly basis from Easter through to October. They are positioned centrally in the village and were originally part of the Moseley Hall Farm Estate.

The Society use the Cow House mainly to store their exhibition boards and the tools to maintain the kitchen garden surrounding the Dovecote. There is an upper floor reached by steep steps which used to be a feed store for the livestock.

 

The Dovecote is reached by wooden stairs and the first floor contains a permanent exhibition which would have to be covered up. It is possible to go up to the actual dovecote at the top, but the entrance is too small for the public to enter.

Fiona was very positive about my plans and I think this will be an ideal location for my exhibition.
