1/50 Detail from plaque on south wall of the dovecote at Yew Tree House, SIbford Gower. The inscription reads “Aspicis ut veniant et candida tecta columbae, accipiat nullas sordida turris ave” Ovid Tristia 1.9.1. As read by M. Dix in 1937.
[You see how the doves come to a white dwelling, how an unclean tower harbours no birds.]
