NHLE

The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is England's official database of protected heritage assets. It includes details of all listed buildings, scheduled monuments, registered historic parks and gardens, protected shipwrecks, and registered battlefields. The list is maintained by Historic England, a government body, and consolidates these different designations into a single resource, even though they vary in the type of legal protection they afford. Although World Heritage Sites are not designated by Historic England, they also appear on the NHLE. Conservation areas, however, do not appear, as they are designated by the relevant local planning authority.
