Where Ewell’s history is
Every Grade I and II* building, monument and historic park, over the age of each neighbourhood’s homes.
Hover a dot for its name; tap one with a photo to open it.
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. Neighbourhood dots: the population-weighted centre of each Census 2021 output area, coloured by its neighbourhood’s (LSOA’s) share of homes built before 1919 (Valuation Office Agency, March 2025).
High Street has the most listed buildings
Streets by the listed entries with an address on them. One entry can be a whole terrace, so long rows count once.
Of the 86 entries, 27 are named by a street address; the rest are named buildings such as churches, halls and bridges.
Most of Ewell’s listed buildings are homes
Every listed building sorted by what its list name says it is.
53 entries (62%) are houses, terraces and villas. 2 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.
86 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 86 Grade II listed buildings, A to Z
3 conservation areas cover 15% of Ewell
Areas the council protects as a whole: demolition and changes to how buildings look need consent, and trees are protected.
The first, Ewell Village, was designated in 1972; the newest, Higher Green, in 2000. 79 of the 86 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 Ewell’s listed buildings were added in one year, 1974
The year each building now on the list was first listed.
The first 19 entries were listed in 1954. 58 came in 1974, in the national resurvey of the 1970s and 80s. Only 2 have been added in the last 15 years.
Monuments, parks and gardens
Designations that overlap the town by a tenth of their area or half a hectare.
1 scheduled monument
Nationally important archaeological sites and monuments, protected by law; work on them needs consent from the Secretary of State, advised by Historic England.
1 registered park or garden
Ewell grades C+ 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.
5.5% of Ewell’s homes were built before 1919
Every home by when it was built, from council tax records, against England & Wales (the dark tick).
2.9% of homes are Victorian or older, against 16% across England and Wales. The busiest period since was the 1930s, which added 42% of today’s homes.
Valuation Office Agency, council tax stock of properties by build period, 31 March 2025, for the neighbourhoods (LSOAs) that make up the town, split by where their residents live. Homes with no recorded build period (95 here) are left out; 1939–44 is not a period in the data.
