1) Paperback Book Dovecotes (Shire Library) by Shire. Very interesting and informative. My husband and I have become interested recently in homing pigeons and the unique impact they have had in historical events. The european dovecotes depicted in this book, as well as the interesting writing of the authors, bears homage to the importance of the pigeon as food source and messenger in yesteryears. Beautiful photos and very well written, we have enjoyed this book very much.¤ 2) Paperback Book Dovecotes (Shire Library) by Shire. It is widely held that it was the Normans who introduced pigeon-keeping to Britain, and the earliest provision of housing for pigeons is found in some twelfth-century castles and religious buildings. This book explains why it was important to keep pigeons and describes the wide variety of buildings that were constructed to house them over the years. This distinctive architectural development is followed through from the earliest to the most recent, including some that have captured the fancy of great architects.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
