HC Deb 14 February 1986 vol 91 cc594-5W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give full details of the listed building status, together with dates of listing of all the cathedrals of the Church of England.

Mr. Tracey

[pursuant to his reply, 7 February 1986, c. 282]: The schedule of listed buildings is as follows. I am also placing copies of my Department's "Guide to the legislation on the listing of Historic Buildings in England" in the Library of both Houses.

Diocese Cathedral Date first listed Current grade
Windsor St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle║
Worcester Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary 22.5.54 A
York Cathedral Church of St. Peter 14.6.54 I

Notes: The dates given are the dates when the cathedrals were statutorily listed. The grades are explained in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 of the enclosed leaflet.

* The Diocese of Sodor and Man has a cathedral church but is excluded because the Secretary of State is not responsible for listing on the Isle of Man. The diocese of Europe is also excluded.

† The lising applies to the ruined cathedral church.

‡ Westminster Abbey is not included as it is not a cathedral.

║ St. George's Chapel has cathedral status but there is no diocese. The chapel is provisionally listed grade I as this is the grade given to Windsor Castle and all the buildings within the walls. Windsor Castle is not statutorily listed at present but will be when Windsor is resurveyed again in the near future.
