@mijim1953 Hello, our response can be found in Appendix 2 of The Planning Inspectorate's scoping opinion: …documents.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/published-docu…

@HistoricEngland .....

Alfred the Great died #OnThisDay in 899. 👑 The only English monarch ever to be given the name ‘the Great’, he was the King of Wessex from AD 871 to 899. Here are 5 things to know about the Anglo-Saxon ruler ⬇️ heritagecalling.com/2023/01/05/5-t…

@Dawn99028990220 @networkrail Hi there, it's the local authority who makes the decision on listed building consent applications and in some cases, they may come to us for advice. We are looking into what involvement we may have had and will update you as soon as we can.

@HistoricEngland @networkrail Just checking if you are talking to Network Rail about Chapel Firth Viaduct. They say they need your input before installing Swift boxes to replace nesting sites they blocked. Please hurry otherwise it will be too late

@StiffNips2 @networkrail Hello, it's the local authority that makes the decision on listed building consent applications, and in some cases, they may come to us for advice. We are looking into what involvement we may have had and will update you as soon as we can.

@HistoricEngland are you responsible for refusing to allow @networkrail to open closed swift nesting sites at Chapel Milton viaduct? Swifts are due to arrive any day, they can't wait for your bureaucratic processes.

@heritage_lizzie Thanks for coming, Lizzie!

Good to join @historicengland in the House of Lords for a reception celebrating the role of heritage in regeneration & bringing empty historic buildings back into productive use. We heard from Lord Mendoza, Emma Squire & leaders from the Salford Lads & Girls Club

@Francesforbesca @AlBuHarg Hi Frances, which building are you referring to?

Went out to look at Highmoor farm yesterday, an abandoned dairy farm once endowed to Clitheroe Grammar School, it will soon be swallowed up by yet another housing estate, we don’t realise how much of our history we are losing #Clitheroe #Ribblevalley #History

@the286project @OldStationSt Hi, our advice goes to the Department for Culture, Media & Sport for consideration. You can find out more about the listing process here: historicengland.org.uk/listing/protec…

@OldStationSt @HistoricEngland Has a culture secretary overturned a decision from Historic England before? I have many issues with the city. But when it shows some ambition and is blocked like this, I just sigh.

Ready to be furious? Historic England recently recommended Court Chambers & Crown Public House on Corporation Street be Graded II listed due to its architect & original features @lisanandy has taken the v. rare decision to overrule @HistoricEngland & reject the listing.

@Bananabelly @OldStationSt @lisanandy Hi Caroline, our advice goes to the Department for Culture, Media & Sport for consideration. You can find out more about the listing process here: historicengland.org.uk/listing/protec…

@OldStationSt @lisanandy @HistoricEngland 🤬What on earth!! I didn't think listings could be overruled! Why? Have to guess there's money coming her way from underhand developers

@PubsSaving Hello, we have not been consulted on the construction of temporary hoarding around The Masons Arms. We suggest contacting the local council for more information.

@HistoricEngland Re: TROUGH OUTSIDE NUMBER 665, HARROW ROAD W10. Have you been consulted about this planning application? Grade II listed trough may be harmed by proposed building works. historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-li…

‼️Pub at risk‼️ Save The Masons Arms‼️ Planning application registered, Proposed erection of temporary hoarding to empty land outside Public House. Harm to Grade II listed trough. Re: 25/3508. Comment to 11/2, online or email: planning.comments@brent.gov.uk

Great news! Norwich Sports Village in Norfolk has been listed at Grade II. 🙌 It is the only example in Britain of work by celebrated Swiss engineer Heinz Isler and one of only three shell structures built in England since the 1970s.

Great news! Moot Hill in Wymondham, Norfolk, has been saved by @NorfArchTrust with our support and advice. 👏 A long-term project will conserve the scheduled ancient monument, which is currently closed to the public, so it can be explored and enjoyed safely.

Alfriston Clergy House in East Sussex was the first building acquired by the @nationaltrust, founded #OnThisDay in 1895. This photograph shows the 14th-century building before it was restored in 1898. The building is a rare surviving example of a Wealden hall house.

The Harrow Inn in Steep, East Hampshire, dates to around the 18th century or possibly earlier. 🍻 It's well-located at the meeting of 6 roads, including 2 known routes for cattle drovers headed for Alton or the Farnham Corn Market.

The unique mid-16th century manor house at Crow’s Hall, Stowmarket, is surrounded by a moat and entered by a brick bridge and a gatehouse. 😍 Unlike many other country estates, it hasn't been formally designed and is an unusual survival of a small, early country house landscape.

Rose Sidgwick was born #OnThisDay in 1877. 🎈 Unpick the legacy of the historian who made pioneering contributions to history and international feminism. ⬇️ heritagecalling.com/2024/07/23/the…

Doing Dry January? You're following in the footsteps of millions of Victorians 🍵 The Temperance movement built alcohol-free hotels, coffee taverns and billiard halls across England. Many survive - hidden in plain sight. Read about our new book: ➡️bit.ly/Temperancebuil….

Where can you find a telephone box that isn't red? 🤔 England’s most common red telephone box is the K6 by Giles Gilbert Scott. But you can find rare telephone boxes in a range of colours from blue to cream. Let us know where you have spotted one!

The hypocaust at Brading Roman Villa on the Isle of Wight is at risk. This is a rare surviving example of Roman heating. Protecting the hypocaust is an Edwardian shelter in need of repair to ensure the site remains safe. In 2025, we added it to our #HeritageatRisk register.

We’re working with Pre-Construct Archaeology, @NorfolkMuseums and @NtlMuseumsScot to conserve Iron Age objects discovered in West Norfolk, including a battle trumpet and a boar’s head from a military standard. See the discovery on @BBCTwo's 'Digging for Britain' on 14 January.

Delighted to be invited to give evidence to the @CommonsCMS today, as part of the Committee's inquiry on Protecting built heritage. Thank you to Committee Chair Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, and Committee members for their insightful questions on @HistoricEngland's work.

Liverpool Lawn in Ramsgate, Kent, was planned as a gently curving crescent to exploit sea views from its site, which is set back from the seafront. 🌊 This speculative development was constructed between 1827 and 1836 by the Ramsgate builder James Crisford.
