Historic environment records (HERs) are an important starting point for anyone interested in the archaeology, built heritage, and history of an area. They can provide information on a wide variety of buildings and sites, from finds of prehistoric flint tools to medieval castles and Second World War pillboxes.
HERs are a primary source of information for planning, development control work and land management.
HERs are information services that provide access to comprehensive and dynamic resources relating to the archaeology and historic built environment of a defined geographic area. This information is usually held in a database with a digital mapping system (geographic information system). HERs are public records.
Staffordshire County Council manage the Staffordshire's HER, which includes Lichfield District.
