Social and Economic Research Reports

Please note that the majority of research was commissioned by English Heritage before the organisation split and the statutory function became Historic England. The name English Heritage is used in past research reports and publications. Social and Economic Research is part of Historic England and research continues to be commissioned by the new organisation.
