While a scheduled monument can also be recognised as a listed building, English Heritage considers listed building status as a better way of protecting buildings than scheduled monument status. If a monument is considered by English Heritage to "no longer merit scheduling" it can be descheduled.[2]
Nottinghamshire has over 160 scheduled monuments including various Roman, medieval and Civil War sites, buildings and ruins.[3]
