Marriage lintel

Architecture MarqueeMartyrium

Marriage lintel(Scots): Lintel carved with the initials of the owner and his wife and the date of building work (only coincidentally of their marriage).

 


Caves, church spires etc were used to house pigeons, but eventually purpose built pigeon houses became common all over Britain, some with marriage lintels and decorative panels, many had over 1000 nesting boxes.
