Listing means that the buildings are in one of the following categories:-
(a) Those built before 1700 which survive
in anything like their original condition.
(b) Most (but not all) buildings built between 1700 and 1840.
(c) Buildings of definite quality built between 1840 and 1914 including,
in particular, the principal works of the principal Architects of the
time.
(d) A few buildings built after 1914 but more than 30 years old.
These buildings in the
village were classified as "Listed"by English heritage in 2006.
This is not a comprehensive list of all
