Introduction Lancaster District’s Heritage Lancaster District has over 1,300 listed buildings that are recognised for their national historic and architectural importance.

University of Cumbria - Bowerham Barracks What is a Local Heritage Asset?
A Local Heritage Asset is a building, structure or designed landscape which has a degree of architectural or historic significance which does not meet the national criteria for designation as a listed building, scheduled monument or registered park and garden, but still merits consideration in planning decisions due to its interest.
Ridgeway Park in Silverdale Purpose of a Local List
Lancaster City Council’s list of local heritage assets provides an opportunity for a community and a local authority to jointly identify heritage assets which are distinctive to the local historic environment and community. The local list can also inform owners, developers and officers of the Council on important characteristics that are desirable to protect and retain.
The designation of a building or structure as a local heritage asset does not introduce any additional Main Street in Warton controls, but will better inform planning decisions. 2. Yealand Redmayne History
In the Domesday Book ‘Jalant’ (later referred to as ‘Yelaunde’) was noted as a manor which also included Silverdale. The land was assessed as four plough-lands and held by Earl Tostig. The north road from Lancaster to Kendal passes through the township to the east. The division of the manor of Yealand was a result of William de Lancaster I granting Norman de Yealand Levens in Westmorland and his son, Henry, adopted the surname Redmayne. The area was then referred to as Yealand Redmayne following the succession of the manor by his son, Matthew in the mid-13th century. The Yealand Redmayne parish also includes the hamlet of Yealand Storrs, to the west of the village. The village is primarily characterised by the collection of houses facing onto the main street, the buildings of which date from 17th to 19th century. In addition, there are several attached and detached barns which face onto or are adjacent to the main street. The buildings are typically constructed in limestone with slate roofs. The township has a historic association with the early development of Quakerism. On the boundary of the township of Redmayne and Conyers, the Friends’ School is located which was founded in 1841. Yealand Remayyne resides within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which was designated in 1972.
