Historic England ↗
7 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: The White Hart Inn, Grade II, 20 m away · 6 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
