The Metropolitan Borough of Trafford contains 6 of the 48 Grade I listed buildings in the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester, England.
In the United Kingdom the term listed building refers to a structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance; Grade I listed buildings are those considered to be “buildings of exceptional interest”.[1] In England, the authority for listing under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 rests with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS),[1] advised by Historic England, a non-departmental public body which manages the National Heritage List for England on behalf of the DCMS.[2]
