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.

Barn at Stansbatch House One of a series of abandoned farm buildings across the lane from Stansbatch House. If it is going to be converted, someone had better hurry up.

Baptist Chapel, Stansbatch Dates from 1863. The right hand side of the chapel is made from corrugated iron. Chapels like this have closed in their thousands, but this one is still regularly used and is well cared for.

Railway bridge, Horseway Head Road overbridge on the former GWR branch line to Presteigne, which closed finally in 1964. The passenger service ended in the 1950s, long before Beeching. The bridge was built to accommodate double track - a tad ambitious out here.
