There are thirteen scheduled monuments in Birmingham, England.
In the United Kingdom, a
scheduled monument is a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building that has been given protection against unauthorised change by being placed on a list (or "schedule") by the
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport;
English Heritage takes the leading role in identifying such sites.[1] Monuments are defined in the
Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the
National Heritage Act 1983. Scheduled monuments—sometimes referred to as scheduled ancient monuments—can also be protected through
listed building procedures, and English Heritage considers listed building status to be a better way of protecting buildings and standing structures.[1] A scheduled monument that is later determined to "no longer merit scheduling" can be descheduled.[2]
