    In the surroundings of Downhill House, at one end of the walled garden, you will find this old ice house. Here, meat and ice were stored to keep food in good condition.

      Keeping doves was common practice on estates.
      The birds had many uses. The down and feathers were used to fill pillows and the dung was not only a highly rated fertilizer it was also used in the tanning industry and in the manufacture of gunpowder. However it was for their flesh and eggs, particularly in winter when meat was scarce, that they were particularly valued.
