Historic England lists buildings in three grades: Grade I for buildings of exceptional interest (about 2.5% of all listed buildings), Grade II* for particularly important buildings of more than special interest (about 5.8%), and Grade II for buildings of special interest (about 91.7%). Listing protects the whole building, inside and out.
Every entry on the National Heritage List for England whose point lies inside the ONS 2022 built-up-area boundary. One list entry can cover a terrace or a group of buildings.
Most of Endon’s listed buildings are homes
Every listed building sorted by what its list name says it is.
14 entries (52%) are houses, terraces and villas. 8 are churches, chapels and priories.
Buildings are sorted by words in each entry’s name (church, gate, inn, memorial…): the list’s open data has no building type. An entry named only by its address counts as a house.
27 Grade II listed buildings
Most listed buildings are in this grade, which covers buildings of special interest. Open any building to read its official list entry.
All 27 Grade II listed buildings, A to Z
2 conservation areas cover 8.7% of Endon
Areas the council protects as a whole: demolition and changes to how buildings look need consent, and trees are protected.
The first, Endon, was designated in 1972; the newest, Caldon Canal, in 1996. 24 of the 27 listed buildings stand in one.
Historic England’s conservation areas layer, supplied by councils (incomplete in places, so a page fact, never graded). Hectares are the part of each area inside the built-up area.
More than half of Endon’s listed buildings were added in one year, 1986
The year each building now on the list was first listed.
The first 1 entry was listed in 1952. 24 came in 1986, in the national resurvey of the 1970s and 80s. Only 0 have been added in the last 15 years.
Endon grades B+ for history
Protected heritage and the age of the town’s homes, against all UK towns.
Two measures, each ranked against every UK town of 1,000 or more, with protected heritage counting twice as much as the age of homes. Protected heritage counts each listed building by its grade (Grade I three points, II* two, II one), each scheduled monument and battlefield two, and each registered park or garden by its grade; it is ranked both per 10,000 residents and as a total, so a village with one fine church doesn’t outrank a historic city. The second measure is the share of homes built before 1919, from the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax records. History is a character grade: it describes the town and isn’t part of the overall grade.
