EXPLORING THE FORGOTTEN WATCHTOWER OF SOMERSET

Forgotten Watchtower in Bruton Somerset ! Regarded by most as a Dovecote a not so obvious history that is significant in the area. Once surrounded by the Selwood Forest now surrounded by the Town and has become an iconic image used on the Town sign and other items.
Bruton now is a very wealthy town in Somerset and a favoured place to live by various famous personalities and has a deep history connected with Royal lands and the Church. I explore the history of the Tower / Dovecote with a feet on the ground visit-I hope you will enjoy this video?

That you for sharing James. I have lived 20 years just five miles away and have never visited. However if there are cows up there it is unlikely that I ever will, so thank you for the tour..

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

The Cows are quite docile here -I think you would be safe ?-Thank you for watching👍

Thank you so much for this James. We have been through Bruton so many times and seen this structure on the hill. Always wondered what it was and now, thanks to you, I know. Very interesting as always.

Thank you, James. You have once again excelled with some interesting history. It’s amazing how buildings are over taken for granted or overlooked.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

My pleasure-Thank you Penny for watching my small adventure in history 👍

[@paulineshave3880]

Thanks for the interesting info on this James - we live quite near this, and have always just taken it for granted as a dovecote.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Same as myself Pauline- I always regarded this as a Dovecote but now after delving into the history of the Tower I will look at this with a different view 👍
