| Friends Meeting House | Langley Green 51°07′36″N 0°12′42″W / 51.1267°N 0.2117°W / 51.1267; -0.2117 (Ifield Friends Meeting House) |
A !I | A Quaker community was established in Ifield in the mid-17th century, and by 1676—when the meeting house was built—more than a quarter of residents were Nonconformist Christians. It has been used continuously for worship since then, and is one of the oldest purpose-built Quaker meeting houses in existence. The twin-gabled building is of Sussex stone and has a simple 18th-century interior. | ||
| Saint !St Margaret's Church | Ifield 51°07′26″N 0°13′10″W / 51.1239°N 0.2194°W / 51.1239; -0.2194 (St Margaret's Church) |
A !I | When built in the 13th century on the site of a 10th-century church, St Margaret's was at the centre of a large parish with a scattered population. Ifield itself was merely a hamlet clustered around the church. The oldest surviving part is one end of the chancel. The building experienced renovations and reordering in the Victorian era. | ||
| Saint !St Nicholas' Church | Pound Hill 51°06′37″N 0°08′30″W / 51.1103°N 0.1417°W / 51.1103; -0.1417 (St Nicholas' Church) |
A !I | The church is of Saxon origin—probably 10th-century—and is unusually tall and wide for a church of that era. Worth was originally a Wealden village with its own parish, but boundary changes brought the church and part of the parish within the Borough of Crawley. Some structural changes were made in the 13th century, and restoration work took place in 1871 and after a fire in 1986. | ||
| 5 Langley Lane | Langley Green 51°07′36″N 0°12′42″W / 51.1268°N 0.2117°W / 51.1268; -0.2117 (5 Langley Lane) |
B !II* | This two-storey timber-framed hall house was built in around 1475; the brick and tile facings are 18th-century. The Friends Meeting House was built on its eastern side in 1676 when the cottage's owner donated land to the Quaker community. | ||
| Ancient Priors | Northgate 51°06′50″N 0°11′25″W / 51.1139°N 0.1903°W / 51.1139; -0.1903 (Ancient Priors) |
B !II* | This timber-framed hall-house was built around 1450, partly on the site of an older building which was then integrated with it. The four-bay building was restored from a near-derelict state in the 1930s, and was owned by champion boxer Alan Minter in the late 20th century. | ||
| Charlwood House | Langley Green 51°08′38″N 0°11′44″W / 51.1440°N 0.1955°W / 51.1440; -0.1955 (Charlwood House) |
B !II* | The core of this large building, now a nursery school, is an early-17th-century timber-framed house with jettying at one end and a tile-hung upper storey. The tiled roof uses Horsham stone. An extension was built in the same style in the 20th century. | ||
| Charlwood Park Farmhouse | Langley Green 51°09′35″N 0°11′50″W / 51.1597°N 0.1971°W / 51.1597; -0.1971 (Charlwood Park Farmhouse) |
B !II* | On the Surrey border and now just outside the perimeter of Gatwick Airport, this 15th-century open hall-house was altered in the 17th century. The ground floor has timber framing, the first floor is tile-hung, and the gabled roof is tiled and has a 17th-century chimney. The building is jettied all around. | ||
| Ewhurst Place | Ifield 51°07′24″N 0°12′10″W / 51.1232°N 0.2029°W / 51.1232; -0.2029 (Ewhurst Place) |
B !II* | In the Crawley area there were originally six timber-framed houses surrounded by moats; Ewhurst Place, built in the late 16th century on a much older site, is the only example where both the house and the complete moat remain. The walls are variously tile-hung, brick-faced or timber-framed. Horsham stone tiles are used on the roof, which is hipped at two ends. The name Ewhurst ("Yew Wood") is one of the area's oldest farm names. | ||
| Hyders Hall (Gatwick Manor Inn) | Northgate 51°08′21″N 0°11′03″W / 51.1393°N 0.1843°W / 51.1393; -0.1843 (Hyders Hall (Gatwick Manor Inn)) |
B !II* | Like Ewhurst Place, this was a timber-framed building on a moated site; only part of the moat remains. Originally built in the 15th century as an open hall-house, it experienced several alterations in later centuries: new floors, chimneys, cross-beamed ceilings, windows and a staircase were added. The building now houses a restaurant, bar and conference facilities. | ||
| Old Punch Bowl | Northgate 51°06′58″N 0°11′22″W / 51.1161°N 0.1894°W / 51.1161; -0.1894 (Old Punch Bowl) |
B !II* | This late-15th-century timber-framed hall house has performed many roles in Crawley's history, from its early use as a farmhouse to its 20th-century commercial uses: a tearoom, a bank and now a public house. There are five bays, all of which are jettied, and a large chimney at the north end. | ||
| Rowley Farmhouse | Northgate 51°08′30″N 0°10′21″W / 51.1417°N 0.1725°W / 51.1417; -0.1725 (Rowley Farmhouse) |
B !II* | Based on a small deposit of gravel, offering good drainage in an area of heavy clay, this farmhouse dates from the 15th or 16th century and was built as a five-bay timber-framed smoke bay house (a later version of the open hall-house). A chimney was added in the 18th century. A fatal aeroplane crash occurred here in 1936. | ||
| Saint !St John the Baptist's Church | Northgate 51°06′50″N 0°11′19″W / 51.1139°N 0.1886°W / 51.1139; -0.1886 (St John the Baptist's Church) |
B !II* | Crawley's parish church dates from the 13th century, and some original parts remain; but many alterations have been made over the centuries, including the rebuilt tower of 1807. | ||
| Saint !St Michael and All Angels Church | Langley Green 51°08′45″N 0°10′47″W / 51.1458°N 0.1797°W / 51.1458; -0.1797 (St Michael and All Angels Church, Lowfield Heath) |
B !II* | William Burges built this yellow sandstone French Gothic-style church in 1867 as the Anglican parish church of the (now depopulated) village of Lowfield Heath. Since 1974, it has been in the Borough of Crawley within the Langley Green neighbourhood, and is now used by a Seventh-day Adventist Church congregation. | ||
| The Beehive | Northgate 51°08′39″N 0°09′48″W / 51.1443°N 0.1634°W / 51.1443; -0.1634 (The Beehive) |
B !II* | Frank Hoar designed this revolutionary circular building—the first fully integrated airport terminal in the world—in 1934. It was completed by 1936, and is now used as offices. | ||
| The George Hotel | West Green 51°06′53″N 0°11′27″W / 51.1148°N 0.1907°W / 51.1148; -0.1907 (The George Hotel) |
B !II* | Commemorated in paintings and fiction, visited by monarchs and used as a venue for public executions, this coaching inn has existed since the 15th century and has expanded to take in adjacent buildings. Its popularity was greatest during the 18th and 19th centuries, when it developed its reputation as Crawley's most famous and important building. Its core is a timber-framed hall-house of the mid-15th century. | ||
| 10 Ifield Road | West Green 51°06′52″N 0°11′30″W / 51.1144°N 0.1918°W / 51.1144; -0.1918 (10 Ifield Road) |
C !II | A 19th-century reconstruction obscures a timber-framed cottage two centuries older. Stretcher bond brickwork and tiles are visible on the outside, and the roof is half-hipped. The house was used as a bakery for many years, but is now derelict. | ||
| 29 High Street | Northgate 51°06′49″N 0°11′25″W / 51.1137°N 0.1903°W / 51.1137; -0.1903 (29 High Street) |
C !II | This has been converted into a shop and altered internally, but consists of a house of about 1620 with exposed chamfered timbers and a 19th-century corn-dealer's yard with a barn, storeroom, stables and shed. The house had a chimney, which has been removed, but the internal chimney bay remains. | ||
| 34–36 High Street | West Green 51°06′51″N 0°11′27″W / 51.1141°N 0.1908°W / 51.1141; -0.1908 (34–36 High Street) |
C !II | This two-storey, red-brick, late-18th-century building (Crawley town centre's only survivor from this era) has been converted into two shops with residential accommodation above. The tiled roof has two original chimneys, and there are six old sash windows on the upper floor. | ||
| 37 Langley Lane | Langley Green 51°07′41″N 0°12′29″W / 51.1280°N 0.2081°W / 51.1280; -0.2081 (37 Langley Lane) |
C !II | This is the main building on the Apple Tree Farm site, which is being redeveloped with housing and a Hindu temple. The 17th-century timber-framed farmhouse, with a tiled roof, was extended and faced in brick in the mid-19th century. | ||
| 39 High Street | Northgate 51°06′51″N 0°11′25″W / 51.1141°N 0.1902°W / 51.1141; -0.1902 (29 High Street) |
C !II | This building on the path leading to St John the Baptist's Church now presents a Gothic appearance, but was originally a timber-framed hall-house built in the 16th century. The remodelling was done in the mid-19th century. It is now partly tile-hung and has a steeply pitched tiled roof with decorative bargeboards on its gables. | ||
| 39 Langley Lane | Langley Green 51°07′44″N 0°12′30″W / 51.1290°N 0.2084°W / 51.1290; -0.2084 (39 Langley Lane) |
C !II | This small cottage was built no later than the mid-18th century, although there is a modern section constructed of similar materials. It stands off Langley Lane on land belonging to Apple Tree Farm, and is now surrounded by new houses. The partly timber-framed building is tile-hung on the upper floor. A large chimney stack stands at the west end. | ||
| 44–48 High Street | West Green 51°06′52″N 0°11′27″W / 51.1144°N 0.1907°W / 51.1144; -0.1907 (44–48 High Street) |
C !II | Now divided into three shops, this was built in around 1600 as a four-bay timber-framed hall-house. It was converted into shops by the 19th century, when it received a stucco exterior and four sash windows. It stands on a corner site; both street-facing elevations were originally jettied, but only the smaller north face is now. | ||
| 60–62 Ifield Road | West Green 51°06′54″N 0°11′50″W / 51.1151°N 0.1971°W / 51.1151; -0.1971 (60–62 Ifield Road) |
C !II | This late-16th-century farmhouse was converted into cottages in the 19th century but is now one house again. One of the oldest buildings in the area now covered by West Green, it is timber-framed and has exposed joists, beams and trusswork inside. The exterior is partly tile-hung. | ||
| 8–10 Old Martyrs | Langley Green 51°07′51″N 0°11′19″W / 51.1307°N 0.1885°W / 51.1307; -0.1885 (8–10 Old Martyrs) |
C !II | Martyrs Farm, west of the London Road, was named after Protestant martyr Thomas Dungate who was arrested there in 1556 and burnt at the stake. The farmhouse, now two houses, has exposed timber-framing, a tile-hung upper floor and a substantial chimney. A 20th-century extension was built in the same style. | ||
| Barn at Gatwick Manor Inn | Northgate 51°08′23″N 0°11′03″W / 51.1397°N 0.1841°W / 51.1397; -0.1841 (Barn at Gatwick Manor Inn) |
C !II | This weatherboarded timber barn, historically known as Hyder's Barn, is adjacent to the former hall but was built later. A room from a former inn in nearby Reigate was moved to Crawley and used as the basis of a structure which connects the two. The barn now forms part of the Gatwick Manor Inn restaurant complex. Internally, the roof has queen post supports. | ||
| Barn east of Rowley Farmhouse | Northgate 51°08′30″N 0°10′18″W / 51.1417°N 0.1718°W / 51.1417; -0.1718 (Rowley Farmhouse) |
C !II | Standing next to Rowley Farmhouse, this is a medieval barn with a king post roof. The weatherboarded exterior conceals timber framing. The hipped roof is tiled. | ||
| Bewbush Manor | Bewbush 51°05′56″N 0°13′48″W / 51.0990°N 0.2300°W / 51.0990; -0.2300 (Bewbush Manor) |
C !II | The manor of Beaubusson was first mentioned in 1315, and a manor house and moat were built. The present building on the site is 15th- or 16th-century, but brick façades added to all walls in about 1850 hide the original timber framing. The windows date from then, but some 17th-century internal features survive. | ||
| Black Dog Cottage | Northgate 51°07′20″N 0°10′54″W / 51.1222°N 0.1817°W / 51.1222; -0.1817 (Black Dog Cottage) |
C !II | Built in the late 16th century, this timber-framed farmhouse was altered in the 19th century when a brick façade was added. Some timber is still visible, and there is weatherboarding to the rear. The roof, steeply hipped to the sides, is tiled, and the original chimney survives. | ||
| Blackwater Cottage | Pound Hill 51°06′46″N 0°09′20″W / 51.1129°N 0.1555°W / 51.1129; -0.1555 (Blackwater Cottage) |
C !II | This small, two-storey cottage is partly tile-hung, partly weatherboarded and also has some exterior brickwork. The tiled roof is steeply hipped on one side. One of the chimneys is original. The building is no later than early-18th-century. | ||

C !II | This 17th-century house, originally called Furnall Cottage, stands at the north end of the High Street between late-20th-century office blocks which have been designed in a complementary style. The ground floor was faced with bricks in the 18th century, and the first floor and roof are tiled. | ||
| Brewery Shades | Northgate 51°06′56″N 0°11′24″W / 51.1156°N 0.1899°W / 51.1156; -0.1899 (Brewery Shades) |
C !II | Behind a mostly modern exterior is a well-preserved timber-framed open hall house of the 15th century. Several structural alterations were made between the 17th and 19th centuries. | ||
| Bridge at Ewhurst Place | Ifield 51°07′24″N 0°12′10″W / 51.1233°N 0.2027°W / 51.1233; -0.2027 (Ewhurst Place) |
C !II | This brick bridge across the moat at Ewhurst Place was built in 1739, according to a plaque above the single arch. The coping at the top is in a triangular pattern. | ||
| Broadfield House | Broadfield 51°05′47″N 0°11′47″W / 51.0964°N 0.1963°W / 51.0964; -0.1963 (Broadfield House) |
C !II | Built in about 1830, this stuccoed, slate-roofed house was extended about 30 years later to add a three-bay hall and a gallery above. Later uses included council offices and Mercury FM's broadcast base, but in 2008 Crawley Borough Council granted planning permission to convert the building into 12 flats. This did not happen, and it was turned into a free school in 2011. | ||
| Brook Cottage | Ifield 51°06′59″N 0°13′10″W / 51.1164°N 0.2194°W / 51.1164; -0.2194 (Brook Cottage) |
C !II | This timber-framed cottage with external brickwork and a tall chimney is one of the oldest houses in Ifield parish. It was started in about 1600, and retains some wattle and daub work from that era. | ||
| Brookside | Pound Hill 51°08′34″N 0°09′14″W / 51.1427°N 0.1540°W / 51.1427; -0.1540 (Brookside) |

C !II | Although this four-bay timber-framed hall house lies within Gatwick Airport's boundary, surrounded by offices and a new hotel, its interior is well preserved: old timbers and open fireplaces remain. The roof has original tiles, and the exterior is partly brick and partly tile-hung. It adjoins Wing House, and dates from either the 15th century or c. 1520. | ||
| Fir Tree Cottage | Northgate 51°07′27″N 0°11′15″W / 51.1241°N 0.1876°W / 51.1241; -0.1876 (Fir Tree Cottage) |
C !II | Now a house on the east side of London Road, this late-17th- or early-18th-century timber-framed structure was the Crawley parish workhouse by 1792. The roof is partly hipped, and this end has local tiles; the rest is of slate. The exterior exhibits a mix of exposed timber framing, stucco work, bricks and tiles. | ||

C !II | A mansion called Tilgate, part of the 19th-century Tilgate estate (which covered 2,185 acres (884 ha)), was demolished in the 20th century—but one of its lodges remains and is in residential use. It is octagonal and has a slate roof and brick chimney, but the rest of the building is flint. | ||
| Fountain and Pond Basin at Milton Mount Gardens | Pound Hill 51°07′39″N 0°09′01″W / 51.1274°N 0.1502°W / 51.1274; -0.1502 (Fountain and Pond Basin at Milton Mount Gardens) |
C !II | These stand in the grounds of the former Worth Park mansion, which was the centre of a 2,055-acre (832 ha) estate until it was sold for redevelopment in 1915.

| Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony | Northgate 51°06′48″N 0°11′16″W / 51.1133°N 0.1878°W / 51.1133; -0.1878 (Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony) |
C !II | H.S. Goodhart-Rendel's 1958–1959 church is "an important component" of the postwar centre of the New Town. It is now a Roman Catholic parish church, but was originally built for an order of Capuchin friars who were based at the site from 1861 until 1981. The new church's sanctuary is on the site of the old nave. The multicoloured brick building has a strongly patterned concrete ceiling. | ||
| Frogshole Farm | Maidenbower 51°06′33″N 0°08′51″W / 51.1091°N 0.1475°W / 51.1091; -0.1475 (Frogshole Farm) |
C !II | Now a pub in the new Maidenbower neighbourhood, this mid-16th-century farmhouse is near St Nicholas' Church in Worth.

It reopened in July 2008 after a serious fire in February 2007. | ||
| Garden wall and entrance to Worth Training Centre | Pound Hill 51°07′00″N 0°08′50″W / 51.1166°N 0.1471°W / 51.1166; -0.1471 (Garden wall and entrance to Worth Training Centre) |
C !II | The training centre building itself has a separate listing from the 18th-century stone structure which forms its boundary with the pavement on the road to Turners Hill. The wall is about 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and has large stone blocks with dressings and a cornice, and incorporates an entrance doorway with an architrave and pediment of the same materials. | ||
| Goffs Manor | Southgate 51°06′35″N 0°12′09″W / 51.1098°N 0.2024°W / 51.1098; -0.2024 (Goffs Manor) |
C !II | This timber-framed 16th-century building—the remnants of a four-bay open hall-house—was a farmhouse but is now a pub. Actor Peter Vaughan lived in the L-shaped building before its conversion. The brick-supported timber work is still in place on the ground floor; the upper storey is tiled, and the roof has Horsham stone tiles. | ||
| Green Lane Old Cottage | Pound Hill 51°06′51″N 0°08′45″W / 51.1143°N 0.1459°W / 51.1143; -0.1459 (Green Lane Old Cottage) |
C !II | This 17th-century cottage in Worth is one of two thatched cottages in the borough; the other is the older Radford Farmhouse. Although it is timber-framed, the beams are supported by infilled brickwork—an early example of this technique, which became common in Crawley. The west side differs: it has a tile-hung upper storey. The chimney is 18th-century. | ||

C !II | This cottage is attached to Old Plough Cottage on the east side, and dates from the 18th century. The ground floor has diaper pattern brickwork, while the upper floor is hung with lozenge-shaped tiles. | ||
| Hazelwick Grange | Three Bridges 51°07′29″N 0°10′02″W / 51.1248°N 0.1671°W / 51.1248; -0.1671 (Hazelwick Grange) |
C !II | Formerly a farmhouse, this is believed to date from the 17th century. Its timber framing is augmented with white-painted brick. The front of the house, facing north, has a five-window range and a small porch with a gabled roof. | ||
| Heathy Ground Farmhouse | Pound Hill 51°08′10″N 0°08′46″W / 51.1362°N 0.1462°W / 51.1362; -0.1462 (Heathy Ground Farmhouse) |
C !II | This large former farmhouse, now a restaurant and pub, combines a four-bay 16th-century structure and an extra perpendicular wing added in the 19th century, when the rest of the building was restored with new brickwork and windows. The steep tiled roof has a large chimney stack. Inside, a narrow 18th-century wooden staircase survives next to a fireplace. | ||
| Hillside Inn | Pound Hill 51°07′07″N 0°08′52″W / 51.1187°N 0.1478°W / 51.1187; -0.1478 (Hillside Inn) |
C !II | This 17th-century building, altered two centuries later, has been a pub for most of its life, but other commercial activities have also taken place in it.

C !II | This timber-framed house, built in the 16th century, survives among the factories and warehouses of the Manor Royal industrial estate. Many additions since the 19th century have transformed the north–south two-bayed building into an L-shaped structure with a prominent porch. A stone chimney-stack extends from ground level on the north side. | ||

C !II | This adjoins County Oak Cottage but is now believed to have been built later in the 18th century. The adjacent Lowfield Heath was still open land at the time. It is brick-built and tile-clad, with a partly hipped roof. | ||
| Oakfield Cottage | Pound Hill 51°07′06″N 0°08′52″W / 51.1183°N 0.1478°W / 51.1183; -0.1478 (Oakfield Cottage) |
C !II | This L-shaped building dates from the early 18th century. The south wall has weatherboarding on both storeys, but other walls are brick to the ground floor and tile-hung on the upper storey. The brick chimneys on the tiled roof are original. | ||
| Oakfield Lodge | Pound Hill 51°07′06″N 0°08′52″W / 51.1182°N 0.1479°W / 51.1182; -0.1479 (Oakfield Lodge) |
C !II | This single-storey cottage forms an architectural group with the adjacent Oakfield Cottage, although it was built more than a century later. The stuccoed walls are topped by a hipped roof which supports a large chimney in the centre. The windows and doorcase are hood-moulded. | ||

C !II | This 17th- or early-18th-century cottage is in an isolated area known as Fernhill, at the northeast corner of the borough. The structural pattern is similar to many of Crawley's houses of that era, though: timber-framing hidden by ground-floor brickwork and first-floor tiles, and a tiled roof. A chimney rises at the west end from a foundation of local stone, quarried in Charlwood. | ||
| Old Fox House | Langley Green 51°08′34″N 0°14′09″W / 51.1428°N 0.2359°W / 51.1428; -0.2359 (Old Fox House) |

C !II | Like Jordans, this was an early example of development stretching north up the London Road. The timber-framed cottage is late-17th-century but has been added to in the 19th century and more recently. The tiled roof, hipped at both ends, is original, as is the brickwork and tile-hanging on the west and south faces. The roof supports a chimney-stack. | ||
| Old Inn Cottage | Langley Green 51°07′38″N 0°12′38″W / 51.1271°N 0.2105°W / 51.1271; -0.2105 (Old Inn Cottage) |
C !II | This house may originally have been an open hall-house of 2½ bays: some of the internal timberwork is heavily blackened by smoke. Chimneys have been added at both ends of the partly hipped roof. The timber framework is mostly obscured by brickwork and tiles, but some is visible on an extension at the rear. | ||
| Old Plough Cottage | Ifield 51°07′27″N 0°13′06″W / 51.1241°N 0.2183°W / 51.1241; -0.2183 (Old Plough Cottage) |
C !II | This early-17th-century L-shaped building was originally the Old Plough Inn; the modern Plough, built next door, superseded it in around 1900. It has been renovated, but retains its original chimney and roof tiles. Elizabeth Fry held a Quaker meeting here in 1837. | ||
| Old Rectory | Ifield 51°07′33″N 0°13′05″W / 51.1259°N 0.2181°W / 51.1259; -0.2181 (Old Rectory) |
C !II | Ifield's rectory was built by 1830 and does not appear to have replaced an older building. The stuccoed building is in the Classical style with Doric columns around the entrance porch, shallow slate roofs with prominent eaves and a mixture of gables and hips, sash windows and a conservatory. | ||
| Oldlands Farmhouse | Pound Hill 51°08′29″N 0°09′26″W / 51.1414°N 0.1573°W / 51.1414; -0.1573 (Oldlands Farmhouse) |
C !II | The owner of Tinsley Forge, Tinsley Green's ironworking facility (and one of Sussex's last working forges), built this three-bay timber-framed house for himself in the early 17th century. The two-storey building is mostly tiled on the exterior, but some plasterwork remains. A gabled porch provides the entrance, and there is a stair turret. The slate roof supports a chimney. The house is no longer a farm, but is still occupied. | ||
| Plough Inn | Ifield 51°07′27″N 0°13′05″W / 51.1242°N 0.2181°W / 51.1242; -0.2181 (Plough Inn) |
C !II | Part of a group formed by the adjacent Old Plough Cottage and Harrow Cottage, this is the newest of the buildings: it was built in 1900 to replace the Old Plough, which was converted to residential use. The walls are clad in painted cement, and the roof is tiled and has two chimneys. Pevsner described it as "specially nice". | ||
| Poles Acre Barn | Langley Green 51°08′24″N 0°11′42″W / 51.1399°N 0.1949°W / 51.1399; -0.1949 (Poles Acre Barn) |
C !II | This barn in the grounds of Poles Acre Farm on the edge of Lowfield Heath was built in the 17th century. Its three bays are timber-framed and supported by exterior brickwork. Internally, the roof is held up by queen posts, struts and purlins. | ||
| Pulhamite Rock Islet in Lake at Milton Mount Gardens | Pound Hill 51°07′46″N 0°09′09″W / 51.1294°N 0.1526°W / 51.1294; -0.1526 (Pulhamite Rock Islet in Lake at Milton Mount Gardens) |
C !II | The James Pulham and Son firm of landscape gardeners created this 10-foot (3.0 m)-wide artificial island in the 1880s as a decorative feature for the lake in the grounds of Worth Park mansion, owned by Sir F.A. Montefiore. It is of Pulhamite artificial stone and lies on a base of clinker and old bricks. | ||

C !II | Another 1880s feature of the former Worth Park mansion's landscaped gardens, provided by James Pulham and Son using their own Pulhamite artificial rock, this rockery is nearly 50 feet (15 m) long and about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall. There is space inside for plants. The foundations are of scrap bricks and clinker cement. | ||
| Radford Farmhouse | Pound Hill 51°08′34″N 0°09′13″W / 51.1427°N 0.1536°W / 51.1427; -0.1536 (Radford Farmhouse) |
C !II | Few thatched roofs have survived in the Crawley area, but this two-storey cottage has one. It is 16th-century, possibly from the 1550s. Situated next to Brookside in the old hamlet of Tinsley Green, it may have functioned as that farm's barn before being converted into a house in its own right. There is some exposed timber-framing and white-painted brickwork. Chimney-stacks at each end and a series of casement and dormer windows are also visible. | ||
| Railway Signal Box | Southgate 51°06′45″N 0°11′27″W / 51.1125°N 0.1908°W / 51.1125; -0.1908 (Railway Signal Box) |
C !II | This brick structure, built in 1877, replaced a smaller signal box which opened with the railway line through Crawley in 1848. From 1978, it was downgraded to a "crossing box"—its only function was controlling the adjacent level crossing where the railway crossed Crawley High Street. It closed completely on 20 April 1986, but has been preserved. The ground floor has two round-arched windows between brick pilasters, and there are sash windows on the first floor, below the hipped roof. | ||
| Ridley's | Pound Hill 51°07′24″N 0°08′52″W / 51.1234°N 0.1477°W / 51.1234; -0.1477 (Ridley's) |
C !II | This small cottage sits on the east side of the Balcombe–Horley road. It has one full storey with attic space above, and is mostly 17th-century—although it may have been extended in the following century and was further added to in the 20th century. The tiled roof is gabled at each end. The timber framework is still visible. | ||
| Ridley's Court | Pound Hill 51°07′35″N 0°08′53″W / 51.1264°N 0.1480°W / 51.1264; -0.1480 (Ridley's Court) |
C !II | Now in residential use, this Classical-style brick and stone structure of 1882 was the stable-block of the former Worth Park mansion (now demolished). It could accommodate 18 carriages. The windows are topped by pediments, and there are some dormer windows facing the quadrangle-style courtyard. Each face of the central three-storey clock tower has pairs of oculi as well. The tower is surrounded by two-storey ranges. | ||

C !II | When the Bewbush neighbourhood was built in the 1980s, this 17th-century barn was retained, and was later converted into the estate's Anglican church. It is timber-framed with a dark weatherboarded exterior. Queen posts and tie-beams support the roof, whose exterior is tiled. | ||
| Spikemead Farmhouse | Langley Green 51°08′30″N 0°11′43″W / 51.1417°N 0.1953°W / 51.1417; -0.1953 (Spikemead Farmhouse) |
C !II | On Poles Lane close to Lowfield Heath, this open hall-house of 1604 retains its original smoke bay. The ground floor is of brick; above is tile-hung attic space. A chimney rises next to the south face. The entrance is through a gabled porch. An extra bay was added on the north side, and is used as a kitchen. | ||

C !II | The endowment of St Margaret's Church vicarage dates from 1247, and there was a building on the present site by 1532. The present house was built in the early 17th century and altered in the early 19th century, and is of stuccoed brick with a roof of Welsh slate (most buildings of a similar age in the area use Horsham stone). The upper floor has gable-headed dormer windows. | ||

C !II | Crawley's former manor house has been empty since the Borough Council moved its Citizens Advice Bureau and other functions elsewhere, and it lies in an area scheduled for redevelopment. The 15th-century open hall-house was rebuilt a century later, and has a largely 18th-century exterior, but retains original king posts, tie-beams and trusses. The L-shaped building consists of a north–south Great hall and an east–west solar. | ||

| Upper Prestwood Farmhouse | Langley Green 51°08′34″N 0°14′11″W / 51.1428°N 0.2363°W / 51.1428; -0.2363 (Upper Prestwood Farmhouse) |
C !II | Situated in the manor of Prestwood northwest of Ifield, the "unspoilt" main building on Upper Prestwood Farm is early-15th-century. It was built as an open hall house of four bays, into which a smoke bay was fitted later. When chimneys were invented, chimney-stacks and hearths superseded this. The building is timber-framed with a brick ground floor, and a crown post roof survives. | ||
| White Hart Inn | Northgate 51°06′54″N 0°11′24″W / 51.1151°N 0.1899°W / 51.1151; -0.1899 (White Hart Hotel) |
C !II | This coaching inn was built in 1770—the year the London to Brighton road was fully turnpiked, improving the speed and convenience of stagecoaches and making Crawley the natural halfway stop. It replaced the smaller Ancient Priors, which until then had been an inn called The White Hart. The timber-framed, brick-clad structure incorporates part of an older building. | ||
