Listed buildings in Henhull

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henhull is a former civil parish in Cheshire East, England. It contained four buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings, all of which are at Grade II. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] The parish contained no major settlements, and was almost entirely rural. The Shropshire Union Canal passed through the parish. All the listed buildings are close to the entrance of its Nantwich Basin, and consist of a bridge, a lock gate, a milepost, and a cottage.
