Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monuments
What is a Listed Building and where are they in Pendle?
Listed Buildings
A listed building is a building that has been identified by the Government as being of special architectural or historic interest. Buildings are added (or removed) from the list by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with the advice of English Heritage.
There are three categories of listed buildings; Grade I, II* and II. All listed buildings are nationally important; the grading identifies their relative importance. Grades I and II* represent the best of the nation's built heritage and comprise only 6% of all listed buildings nationally.

The following link opens the Listed Buildings register for Pendle. The buildings are ordered by Parish. Click on the name of the building to see more details about the listing.
The Statutory List includes a description of each building, which may refer to some, but not all, important features of a historic building. Every part of a building is listed, including the interior and any later alterations or additions. Even if a feature is not included in the description, it does not mean that it is not of interest, and it is still part of the listed building.
Putting Forward a Building for Listing
If you wish to put forward a building for listing an application should be made to English Heritage. English Heritage will assess the merits of the application and subsequently make a recommendation to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as to whether the building should be listed. The DCMS can choose to follow English Heritage's recommendation or, alternatively, take another view.
Applications can be made electronically by registering on the English Heritage website and filling out the appropriate online form.
