Listed Buildings Frequently Asked Questions

The Statutory List includes a description of each building, which may refer to some, but not all, important features of an historic building.  Every part of a building is listed, including the interior and any later alterations or additions.  Even if a feature (internal or external) is not included on the description, it does not mean that it is not of interest and it is still part of the listed building.
