Listed buildings in Burton (near Neston)

Burton, a village near Neston in Cheshire, England, possesses a number of buildings designated as listed buildings by Historic England. These are structures deemed to be of special architectural or historic interest and are thus protected from demolition or significant alteration without special permission. The listing system categorizes buildings into three grades:

  • Grade I: Buildings of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important; only a small percentage of listed buildings are Grade I.

  • Grade II:* Particularly important buildings of more than special interest.

  • Grade II: Buildings that are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them. The majority of listed buildings fall into this grade.

The listed buildings in Burton reflect the village's history, which includes connections to influential families and its role in the agricultural landscape of the Wirral Peninsula. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, manor houses, farmhouses, cottages, and possibly ecclesiastical structures (depending on the specific definition of "Burton" and its associated parish). Details about the age, architectural style, and historical significance of individual listed buildings can be found on the Historic England website, using the building's name or location as search terms. The register entries on Historic England provide detailed descriptions and historical context.
