In the United Kingdom, the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance; Grade I structures are those considered to be "buildings of exceptional interest".[2] Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 . Once listed, severe restrictions are imposed on the modifications allowed to a building's structure or its fittings. In England, the authority for listing under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 [3] rests with Historic England , a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport ; local authorities have a responsibility to regulate and enforce the planning regulations.
There are 90 Grade I listed buildings in Mendip. Most are Norman - or medieval -era churches, many of which are included in the Somerset towers , a collection of distinctive, mostly spireless Gothic church towers. The greatest concentrations of Grade I listed buildings are in Wells and Glastonbury . In Wells these are clustered around the 10th-century Cathedral Church of St Andrew, better known as Wells Cathedral , and the 13th-century Bishop's Palace .[4] Glastonbury is the site of the Abbey , where construction started in the 7th century,[5] and its associated buildings. The ruined St Michael's church, damaged in an earthquake of 1275 ,[6] stands on Glastonbury Tor , where the site shows evidence of occupation from Neolithic times and the Dark Ages .[7] The Chalice Well has been in use since Pre-Christian times.[8] Glastonbury Abbey had a wider influence outside the town: tithe barns were built at Pilton [9] and West Bradley [10] to hold tithes , and a Fish House [11] was built at Meare along with a summer residence for the Abbot (now Manor Farmhouse [12] ).
Medieval structures include Farleigh Hungerford Castle , fortified around 1370, and The George Inn at Norton St Philip , used as an army headquarters during the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, and then as a courtroom to try the rebels in the Bloody Assizes .[13] Manor houses such as the 15th-century Seymours Court Farmhouse [14] at Beckington and The Old Manor at Croscombe . Mells Manor followed in the 16th century and in the 17th century Southill House [15] in Cranmore was built. Ston Easton Park [16] and Ammerdown House [17] in Kilmersdon were both completed in the 18th century. The most recent buildings included in the list are churches: the Church of St Peter at Hornblotton , built in 1872–74 by Sir Thomas Graham Jackson to replace a medieval church on the same site,[18] and Downside Abbey at Stratton-on-the-Fosse , more formally known as "The Basilica of St Gregory the Great at Downside", a Roman Catholic Benedictine monastery and the Senior House of the English Benedictine Congregation . The current buildings were started in the 19th century and are still unfinished.[19]
