Grade I listed non-ecclesiastical buildings in Cheshire
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
- This list does not contain the Grade I listed churches, or the Grade I listed buildings in the city of Chester. For these see Grade I listed churches in Cheshire and Grade I listed buildings in Chester.
The Grade I listed buildings in Cheshire, excluding those in the city of Chester, total around 80. Almost half of these are churches that are contained in a separate list.
Most Cheshire buildings are in sandstone, brick or are timber framed. Limestone is used for some buildings in the east of the county. Compared with other counties, timber framing is important. Cheshire has a higher proportion of timber framed houses than most other English counties.[1][2]
