Questions about Briar Cottage
Is Briar Cottage on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 21804015).
Can you visit Briar Cottage?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Briar Cottage built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1840–1860.
Is Briar Cottage 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.
