Forest Heath Listed Buildings FAQ


The list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest is a register, compiled by English Heritage. It comprises a wide variety of structures, from castles and cathedrals down to milestones and village pumps. Many old buildings and indeed recent buildings are interesting, but listing identifies only those which are of national 'special interest'. The main criteria used are:


· Age and rarity

· Architectural interest

· Historic interest

· Association with a nationally important person or event

· or group value


The answers to some frequently asked questions regarding listed buildings and the listing process can be found by following the link to the English Heritage Website

It is possible in certain circumstances to get grant assistance for repair works. Grants for the repair of buildings of outstanding architectural or historic interest, which usually means Grade I and some Grade II*, may be available from English Heritage, as long as the application is made before the work commences. Grants may also be made to non-outstanding buildings in Conservation Areas. Further information on grant assistance from English Heritage can be obtained from:

English Heritage - East of England Office

Forest Heath District Council also offer Historic Building Grants for eligible works to listed buildings, buildings and structures in conservation areas, or buildings of local interest.
