Practice trenches and tomb of 119-year-old woman listed by Historic England

The 1609 tomb of Mary Ellis in St Clement’s churchyard, Leigh-On-Sea, Essex, has been granted protection by Historic England (Historic England/PA) -

Practice trenches from the First World War, a “bungalow maternity ward” and the tomb of a woman believed to have lived to 119 years old are among the places that have been added to the National Heritage List for England.

Some 256 locations have been added to the list this year, including 17 “remarkable and unusual” structures such as an electricity junction in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, only three years after electricity first arrived in the town, and a brutalist church in the heart of Bristol’s Broadmead shopping centre.
