Listed Buildings
Historic buildings are a precious and finite asset, and powerful reminders to us of the work and way of life of earlier generations. The richness of this country’s architectural heritage plays an influential part in our sense of national and regional identity. Our favourite views of England - street, village, town or city - almost certainly contain buildings protected by the process called ‘listing’.
Listing began in Britain on January 1st 1950, under the post-war Labour government and currently protects 500,000 or so buildings.
From 1 April 2005 English Heritage has the task of identifying and protecting this inheritance in England. The main means of doing this is by listing - recommending buildings for inclusion on statutory lists of buildings of 'special architectural or historic interest'
Listing ensures that the architectural and historic interest of the building is carefully considered before any alterations are agreed. Buildings can be listed because of age, rarity, architectural merit, and method of construction. Sometimes because the building has played a part in the life of a famous person, or as the scene for an important event.
The older a building is, the more likely it is to be listed. Most buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition are listed, as are most built between 1700 and 1840.
- Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest
- Grade II* are particularly important buildings of more than special interest
- Grade II are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them

Scheduled Monuments
A Scheduled Monument is a 'nationally important' archaeological site or historic building, given protection against unauthorised change. They are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. Occasionally Scheduled Monuments are also designated as listed buildings eg. Tutbury Castle.
In England the Department for Culture, Media and Sport keeps a register of nationally important sites which receive state protection. The three government bodies with responsibility for archaeology and the historic environment in Britain are: English Heritage in England, Cadw in Wales and Historic Scotland. The schedule currently includes about 19,700 entries.
Scheduling affords greater protection as it becomes illegal to undertake a great range of works within a designated area, without 'scheduled monument consent'. To be eligible for scheduling, a monument must be demonstrably of national importance.
Criteria for national importance
* Current condition
* Rarity and importance of the period to which the monument dates
* Extent of documentation enhancing the monument's significance
* Group value – where a monument forms part of a wider group of sites
* Survival/Condition
* Fragility/Vulnerability – threats from natural agencies, tourism
or development
* Whether the monument represents similar types or contains unique features
* Potential to contribute to our information, understanding and appreciation
There is no appeal against the scheduling process. Adding a monument to the schedule may require a great deal of research and consideration, but he process can be accelerated for sites under threat.
Protection can be given by taking the monument into state ownership or placing it under guardianship, where the owner retains possession, but the national heritage body maintains it and usually opens it to the public. Wider areas can be protected by designating their locations as Areas of Archaeological Importance.
Damage to a Scheduled monument is a criminal offence and any works taking place within one require Scheduled Monument Consent. Permission for non-essential works is rarely given and new building close to a scheduled monument which might damage its setting is a consideration in the planning system.

MEDIEVAL MOTTE AND BAILEY 1071 – 1176
The motte and bailey castle was originally built by 1071 and demolished in 1175-6. It was rebuilt in the late 12th century and new work is recorded in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. During the civil war it was the last Royalist bastion in the county and was slighted in 1647-8. The oldest surviving parts are the chapel and north east gateway. Possibly built on the site of an Anglo-Saxon burh. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here. The motte is now crowned by an early 19th century folly keep called Julius's Tower. Scheduled

Site excavated about 1965. The nave measures 13.0 metres by 8.0 metres, and the chancel 9.0 by 6.0, with walling standing to a height of about 1.0 metre, and the floor about 1.5 metres below present ground level. A break in the west wall indicates the position of the west doorway, and the position of the altar is represented by a low stone platform against the east wall of the chancel. The stonework foundations of the chapel were drawn as part of the RCHME's National Forest Project.
