Historic England has added 159 buildings and sites to its Heritage at Risk Register – an annual snapshot of the health of England’s historic buildings and places.

Sites added include Holbeche House in the West Midlands, where the Gunpowder Plot unravelled; and the Great White Horse Hotel in Suffolk, which inspired Charles Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers.

The buildings have been added to the register because they are at risk of neglect, decay, or inappropriate development.
