The idea of a 'Listed Building' covers a strange range of constructs. In
this village of Steventon (Oxfordshire, was Berkshire until 1974), we have
an ancient raised Causeway, lined with trees and paved with cobbles. It is
nearly a mile long and is designated as a 'Listed Building'. This means that
any work on the trees - even the annual pruning - or repair to the cobbles
requires the formal permission of the Local Authority.
