Abstract:		 The excavation revealed the foundations of two ranges of substantial masonry buildings located in a field approximately 200m SE of Bury of Hope Farm, formerly known as Pigeon House Orchard. Extensive cartographic and documentary research showed that these originally formed two L-shaped ranges of outbuildings grouped around a rectangular courtyard, which originally comprised a building described as a ''pigeon house'', a barn and stables. A survey of the manor of Hope under Dinmore taken in 1327 makes reference to a dovecote, and it is tempting to suggest that this structure was located in this field. The absence of any reference to these outbuildings in three 17th century surveys of the Bury of Hope estate suggests that these buildings, shown in early to mid 19th century maps of the Bury estate, could well date to the 18th century. It should also be noted that the farmhouse and adjacent barns at Bury of Hope Farm are known to have been extensively rebuilt in the mid-18th century. Extensive alterations appear to have been made to the outbuildings in Pigeon House Orchard during the first half of the 19th century, firstly by Thomas Berrington, owner of the Bury of Hope estate from 1809 to 1837, and subsequently by the Arkwright family, who converted part of the outbuildings into cottages in 1851. The Pigeon House cottages and associated outbuildings were completely demolished in 1868, in connection with the building of a new roadway running NW from the village towards the Bury of Hope Farm.
