Questions about 1798 Monument

Is 1798 Monument on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 16322015).

Can you visit 1798 Monument?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was 1798 Monument built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1895–1900.

Is 1798 Monument 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.
