Proposed Local Heritage List for Horsham Town 2024
The Horsham Society, in conjunction with Horsham District Council, has developed an expanded Local Heritage List for Horsham Town. It comprises buildings and structures within Horsham Town that are significant from a heritage point of view. It shows what is valued at a local level, as opposed to national levels.
The survey work has been undertaken by The Horsham Society with advice from the Senior Conservation Officer, Horsham District Council.
