Dovecote, Staunton Park Six sided, I believe - I forgot to count. No roof, but the nesting holes were still occupied, as I found out when I ventured inside. Late 18th century, I would guess.

St. Peter's Church (1), Staunton on Arrow The earliest records refer to a Vicar being here in 1273, but it is believed there was probably a chapel here before that. The present structure dates from 1853, but is the result of many rebuildings over the centuries. The church was originally under the patronage of Wigmore Abbey, until the abbey was dissolved in 1538. Today the church is part of the Arrowvale group of parishes.
