reasons for listing Listed status
The choice of buildings to be included on the list depends on many factors and may include:
Architectural interest
the list includes all buildings which are of interest to the nation for their architectural design, decoration and craftsmanship.
Important examples of particular building types and techniques and significant plan forms are also included.
Historic interest
includes buildings which illustrate important aspects of the nation's social, cultural or military history.
Close historical associations
with nationally important people or events.
Group value
especially where buildings together comprise an important architectural or historical unity.
When a building is listed it is listed in its entirety and includes any object or structure fixed to the building and most free standing objects within the curtilage of the building. The curtilage of a building is the area of land attached to the building, or formerly attached to the building, this may include a yard, garden or courtyard.
A description of the building will be given with all list entries. This is not a comprehensive or exclusive record of all features of importance but is a description to aid in the identification of a building. The amount of information given in a list description will vary but the absence of a reference to a particular object, structure or feature does not indicate that it is not of interest or that it can be removed or altered without consent.
