Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Rod talk 18:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

There are 79 Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset. This list is modelled on the sub lists of Grade I listed buildings in Somerset which are all FL.&mdash; Rod talk 18:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Comments by Dudley
 * The first sentence of para 2 repeats the first of para 1. I suggest having separate paragraphs on listing rules and government structure instead of mixing them in para 1.
 * Rearranged.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The last part of para 1 is unreferenced.
 * Ref added.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * "North Somerset includes areas that were once part of Somerset before the creation of Avon in 1974." This will not make sense to people who do not know the history of Avon. I would delete as irrelevant.
 * Removed.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * "There are 79 Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset." Is there a Historic England list for North Somerset which could be given as a reference for this?
 * This is complicated. If you go to Advanced search & select North Somerset from the list at District/Unitary Authority/Borough and II* for Grade:, untick everything apart from "Listing" you will see the list (which now says 80 so they must have added one I will find) - I am unable to give a URL which will point directly to this search.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Waterworks at Blagdon: Pumping Station with Receiving Tanks had been upgraded from II to II* so now added to the list (also the most recent completed 1905).&mdash; Rod talk 07:53, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * "The oldest are Norman churches. From the Middle Ages onward there are more churches and some manor houses with their ancillary buildings. The list includes several village or church crosses and monuments in churchyards." These comments are unreferenced.
 * I doubt I will be able to find a specific reference claim but if you sort the list by date or type you will see they are true.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I would like the last paragraph expanded with more information about particularly interesting buildings.
 * I will look at expanding this, but they may have general statements like those mentioned in the previous comment which may be difficult to reference.&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * No change needed but it seems to me surprising that no building is listed earlier than the Normans or later than 1902. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Anything earlier then Norman is likely to be Grade I & there aren't that many 20th century buildings listed yet (those that are tend to be Grade II).&mdash; Rod talk 07:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. Meets the criteria. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Support - pity we don't have images for all of them...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:04, 31 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Support – The only minor thing I'd consider changing is the blank cell for the building type of No 2 Former Hannah More Infants School; perhaps a dash of some kind could be put there to fill the blank space. However, that isn't something that I would withhold support over, as everything else looks great. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 20:20, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I've added "Barn" for No 2 Former Hannah More Infants School as it started as a barn then school & now community centre & Historic England tends to use original use as the type.&mdash; Rod talk 07:32, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
