Designation allows us to protect and celebrate England's historic buildings, monuments, parks, gardens, battlefields and wreck sites, by highlighting their special interest in a national context. It identifies an asset or site as having significance within the historic environment before any planning stage that may decide its future.
In this section you can search The National Heritage List for England to look for information on all nationally designated sites across England. You can also nominate a heritage asset to be added to The National Heritage List for England or apply for an entry on the Heritage List to be removed or changed using our online application form
