PLAQUE SCHEMES ACROSS ENGLAND Plaque schemes are listed below according to region and county, apart from thematic schemes which have a national remit. The list includes: the name of the erecting body (with a hyperlink to a website where possible); a note of whether the scheme is active, dormant, proposed or complete; and a link to an email contact where available. While not all organisations give details of their plaques on their websites, the information included on the register should enable you to contact those responsible for a particular scheme. In a few cases, plaques are described as ‘orphaned’, which indicates that they are no longer actively managed or maintained by the organisation that erected them. English Heritage is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
