Well, that’s boring

We had friends in Alfriston at one time. We loved going there. It had an interesting high street and lots of places to shop.

And this thing in the public parking lot. It’s old. It’s an object of mystery. Some thought it was a temporary lockup for criminals. Some thought it was the lower part of a windmill. Some suggested it was a kiln. You’d think there’d be records, but there are not.

Well, according to this BBC article, it’s a dovecote. Boring.

You know what? I’m not sure I believe it. There are no holes for the pigeons to get in, just that one shuttered window at the top. And you think there would be evidence of ancient droppings.

I’m re-declaring it a mystery object.
