Questions about Diamond House
Is Diamond House on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 40833013).
Can you visit Diamond House?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Diamond House built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1740–1780.
Is Diamond House 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.
