This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".^[1] The parish is mainly residential, forming a suburb to the east of Chester, and two of the listed buildings are houses dating from the 18th century. Running through the parish is the Shropshire Union Canal (originally the Chester Canal); associated with this are three listed buildings, two locks and a cottage. The other listed structures are two boundary stones.
