listed building
Let an agent explain listed buildings and their grades across the UK nations, relay the listing process, consent rules and owner duties from heritage sources, describe how to find and research listings, and distinguish listed buildings from conservation areas, scheduled monuments and similar designations abroad.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
