Listed buildings in Edleston

Summary

Edleston is a former civil parish in Cheshire East, England. It contained six buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings, all of which are at Grade II. 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 was entirely rural. The Shropshire Union Canal passed through the parish, and there are three listed structures associated with this, two accommodation bridges and a milepost. The other listed buildings are cottages and a farmhouse.
