A full list of buildings around Kenilworth at risk of neglect, decay or inappropriate development has been published by Historic England.

The public body has updated its Heritage at Risk Register, including the details of some 4,891 sites nationwide which need protecting.

In Warwick district there are 14 locations listed.

Hunningham bridge is no longer included on the list, having recently reopened after being hit by a farm vehicle in August.

The local listings are:

  • Remains of Old Castle Bridge, Warwick
  • Masters House, Warwick 
  • Church of All Saints, Leamington Spa
  • Church of St Mary, Warwick
  • Church of St Michael, Weston under Wetherley
  • Circular ditches enclosures, Wiggerland Wood Farm, Bishop's Tachbrook
  • Roman Settlement at Glasshouse Wood, Kenilworth
  • Guy's Cave hermitage, Guy's Cliffe
  • Wedgnock Park Pale, dam, two watermill sites, bridge and hollow way, Leek Wootton
  • Enclosures, Sherbourne
  • Warwick Castle
  • Enclosures, Wasperton
  • Stoneleigh Abbey

"Heritage is so important to this country," said Duncan Wilson, chief executive.

"It plays a vital role in our society and boosts local economy.

"This year, we have seen partners and communities come together to help save the historic buildings and places that need it the most. It’s inspirational to see how we can harness the power of our heritage to benefit local people.

"Together, we can save our places and find new ways to enjoy our valued heritage."
