About King House

Questions about King House
Is King House on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated National (record 31804023).
Can you visit King House?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was King House built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1710–1730.
Is King 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.
