Bee Shelter Approximately 50 Metres East Of St Mary The Virgin Hartpury
Bee Shelter Approximately 50 Metres East Of St Mary The Virgin Hartpury, Protected bee shelter at St Mary's Church, Hartpury, England.
The stone structure extends 7.3 meters in length and 2.1 meters in height, featuring three tiers of shelving divided by stone pilasters.
Built around 1840 by stonemason Paul Tuffley, the shelter was first located in Nailsworth before its relocation to Hartpury College in 1968.
The shelter demonstrates the Victorian era commitment to agricultural practices and beekeeping traditions in Gloucestershire through its detailed stone craftsmanship.
The structure provides multiple alcoves for bee skeps, protecting them from adverse weather conditions while maintaining proper ventilation for honey production.
Stone tooling marks on the shelter's surface reveal specific construction techniques used by the Tuffley family, known regional stonemasons.
