List Of English Heritage Properties
English Heritage (officially the Historic Building and Monuments Commission for England). is an executive non-departmental public body of the British Government sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). By caring for the built environment, English Heritage complements the work of Natural England which aims to protect the natural environment. It has a broad remit of managing the historic built environment of England and advises the relevant Secretary of State on policy and in individual cases such as registering listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments.
It was set up under the terms of the National Heritage Act 1983. Its functions for maintaining ancient monuments had previously been undertaken by part of the Department of the Environment which was the successor to the Ministry of Works. English Heritage's best known role is as the steward of over 400 significant historical and archaeological sites, from Stonehenge to the world's earliest iron bridge. It has direct ownership over some historic sites and also liaises with private owners of sites that are managed under guardianship arrangements. It has major responsibilities in conservation, giving advice, registering and protecting the historic environment. It is the statutory advisor to the central UK government on which English heritage assets (i.e. not those in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) are nationally important and should be protected by designation, and also manages register of England's listed buildings, scheduled monuments, registered battlefields, conservation areas and protected parks and gardens - known as The National Heritage List for England. It also maintains a public archive, The English Heritage Archive (which used to be known as the National Monuments Record (NMR).
