There are a number of listed buildings in Greater Manchester, England. In the United Kingdom, the term "listed building" refers to a building or structure designated as being of special architectural or historic interest. Details of all the listed buildings are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. They are categorised into three grades: Grade I for buildings of exceptional interest; Grade II* for particularly important buildings of more than special interest; and Grade II for buildings of special interest. Buildings in England are listed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport following recommendations from Historic England, which also determines the grading. [1]
Some listed buildings are cared for by the National Trust or English Heritage, while others remain in private ownership or are administered by independent trusts.
Within each local government district, buildings are listed by civil parish or unparished area.
