Big pigeon coop

This doocot in the ground of Stenton church is what's left of the old church, which was replaced by the Nineteenth Century one in the background.

A sign nearby says that the old church had become "incommodious".

It seems to be pretty popular with the pigeon population though - as evidenced by the pile of guano spilling out of the doorway at the foot of the tower. Must be handy for keeping the grounds looking nice and green.

I had tried making this shot look infra red, but it turned out a bit extreme. When I reduced the opacity over the colour original, I quite liked this tinted effect it made.
