About Leicestershire and Rutland HER

Leicestershire and Rutland HER

The Leicestershire & Rutland Historic Environment Record (HER) contains over 15,000 records (historic buildings, archaeological finds and features) across the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. It does not include sites within Leicester City, which has its own HER. These records range in date from the Palaeolithic (about 500,000 years ago) to the present day, including recent sites such as Cold War monitoring posts. At present not all of our records are published on the Heritage Gateway. We are making further data available on a regular basis. For more information on this process, and to find out where the gaps in the published data are, please visit our Heritage Gateway information page. The HER is situated at County Hall in Glenfield, on the outskirts of Leicester. As well as the digital data we hold various paper and digital sources including fieldwork reports, plans and photographs. If you would like to find out more about the HER, including contact information, please visit our HER information page. Please be aware that information on the Heritage Gateway should not be used for commercial purposes. If you wish to obtain data for commercial purposes please contact the HER directly.
