Claim: The Trafford Mill in Cheshire England was originally referenced in accounts dated 1302-03, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England for protected heritage asets maintained by a government body, and is a Grade II listed building which may not be demolished, extended or altered without special permission.
Evidence: Trafford Mill is a water mill ¾ mile (1.2 km) to the north of the village of Mickle Trafford, Cheshire, England (grid reference ). The earliest documentary reference to the Trafford Mill is in the Cheshire Chamberlains' Accounts of 1302–03. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is England's official database of protected heritage assets. It is maintained by Historic England, a government body, and brings together these different designations as a single resource even though they vary in the type of legal protection afforded to each. A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings.
