Questions about The Rock
Is The Rock on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20830096).
Can you visit The Rock?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was The Rock built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1750–1770.
Is The Rock protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
