12 landmarks in Coventry and Warwickshire at risk of being lost - full list

Several historic buildings across the West Midlands, including Coventry and Warwickshire, are at risk of being lost forever, including a medieval cellar and a Grade II-listed park and garden. Historic England released its 'Heritage At Risk' register, which revealed 12 landmarks in our area that are at risk of being neglected.

Among the list were buildings in Coventry and Warwickshire, Birmingham, and the wider West Midlands region. This year, a new entry onto the register was Grade I-listed Tamworth Castle. Another was a timber building that the suffragettes refused to burn down.

Another entry is the basement on site of Old Earl Inn on Earl Street in Coventry. It forms parts of a medieval cellar of an inn, now incorporated into the Civic Centre. The buildings above the cellar have been demolished.

Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: "Heritage is so important to the West Midlands. It plays a vital role in our society and boosts the regional 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."

Sir Chris Bryant, the heritage minister, added: “The UK has an abundance of heritage sites across the country that attract tourists and provide jobs in local communities. Many of these are in desperate need of support.

"The Heritage at Risk Register plays a vital role in our ongoing mission to protect and preserve our rich heritage across the country. Many beloved sites have been removed from the list this year and I hope that more will be saved thanks to their inclusion this year."
