Cottages on The Green

The left hand cottage is called Corner Cottage, the right hand is Office Cottage, perhaps because it once served as an estate office to South Collingham House. Corner Cottage was built in two stages, as shown by the change in brickwork, towards the end of the 18th century. Office Cottage and its immediate neighbour date from the late 18th century, with the nearer smaller cottage being an early 19th century addition. Both buildings are Listed Grade II.

Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites.

There are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures using A, B and C designations.
