Listed Buildings are buildings and structures defined by the Secretary of State as being of “special architectural or historic interest”. They include buildings and structures that are deemed to be of importance on a national scale. However, not all listed buildings are grand or attractive – sometimes architectural or historic significance may take precedence over visual qualities, and even fairly small structures such as milestones and water pumps may be listed.There are 3 grades of listing:Grade I – of exceptional interestGrade II* (commonly referred to as “grade two-star”) - of particular importance and containing outstanding features.Grade II – of special interest which warrants every effort to preserve them. |
