Purpose: The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is the only official, up to date, register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England - listed buildings, scheduled monuments, protected wrecks, registered parks and gardens, and battlefields. This data uses the British National Grid (EPSG:27700) spatial reference. It contains points and polygons for Listed Buildings, Building Preservation Notices and Certificates of Immunity. Data is updated daily.
