}Search England's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest by name: grade, date registered, area in hectares and official link.

}Look up one listed building by its NHLE list entry number (the 7-digit reference used in conveyancing and planning papers): name, grade, listing and last-amended dates, grid reference and official link. Source: Historic England National Heritage List for England. Covers listed buildings only; a number belonging to a scheduled monument, park, battlefield or wreck returns found: false. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| list_entry | string | integer, required, NHLE list entry number, e.g. 1065833 |

}Search England's listed buildings by name and get list entry number, grade (I, II*, II), listing date, grid reference and the link to the official Historic England record. Useful for homebuyers, conveyancers, builders and planners asking 'is this building listed'. Source: Historic England National Heritage List for England. Matches the list entry name only (often the address or building name as written when listed), not street addresses generally; England only, and it does not cover conservation areas or local lists. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | string | string, required, part of the list entry name, e.g. 'TOWER BRIDGE' (case-insensitive, 2-100 chars) |
| limit | string | integer, optional, max results 1-100, default 10 |

}List or search wrecks designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 in English waters: name, designation date, restricted area in hectares, position (lat/lon and grid reference) and official link. Diving on or interfering with a designated wreck inside its restricted area without a Historic England licence is an offence, so divers and boat users check here. Source: Historic England National Heritage List for England. Covers designated wrecks only (not all wrecks or military remains); the position is a reference point, not the restricted-area boundary. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | string | string, optional, part of the wreck name, e.g. 'Mary Rose' (omit to list all) |
| limit | string | integer, optional, max results 1-100, default 25 |

}Search England's scheduled monuments by name and get list entry number, date scheduled, area in hectares, grid reference and official link. Scheduling gives legal protection: works, and metal detecting, on a scheduled monument need consent. For landowners, detectorists, developers and walkers. Source: Historic England National Heritage List for England. Name match only; most archaeology is not scheduled, so no match does not mean a site is unprotected or unrecorded. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | string | string, required, part of the monument name, e.g. 'Stonehenge' (case-insensitive, 2-100 chars) |
| limit | string | integer, optional, max results 1-100, default 10 |

}List scheduled monuments around a point in England, nearest first, with date scheduled, area and the official link. Answers 'are there any scheduled monuments on or near this land' for development checks and metal-detecting permission. Source: Historic England National Heritage List for England. Takes lat/lon; includes any monument whose mapped area overlaps the search square, with distance to its reference point rather than its edge. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| lat | number | string | number, required, latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84) |
| lon | number | string | number, required, longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84) |
| limit | string | integer, optional, max results 1-100, default 25 |
| radius_m | string | integer, optional, search radius in metres 10-5000, default 1000 |
