Basford is an electoral ward in the city of Nottingham, England. The ward contains ten listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is listed at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The ward is to the northwest of the centre of Nottingham, and is mainly residential. The listed buildings consist of a church, two tombs in the churchyard and the churchyard walls, two houses, later used for other purposes, and associated structures, a public house, a former brewery, and a former malt house.
The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, including alterations and a Victorian restoration in 1858–60, during which the tower fell and was rebuilt. The church is built in stone with slate roofs, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south porches, a chancel with a chapel and a vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, angle buttresses, string courses, a corbel table, and a pierced balustrade with octagonal pinnacles. The south porch has a pointed arched entrance with a chamfered surround and a hood mould, and an inner doorway with a moulded surround. Attached to its east side is a stone table tomb with wrought iron spearhead railing.[2][3]
The chest tomb is in stone with a chamfered top and an illegible inscription. It has an incised wave pattern at the corners, crossed darts on the side panels, and a dove and a skull on the end panels.[4]
A house, later used for other purposes, in brick, roughcast on the front, on a renderedplinth, with a tile roof. There are two storeys and attics, and five bays. The central doorway has a fanlight with Gothic glazing and a hood on foliage brackets. To its right is a shallow bay window, and the other windows are sashes. To the left is a two-storey two-bay wing with quoins, a shallow bay window, and a pedimentedgable.[5][6]
The house, later divided and used for other purposes, is in red brick, partly rendered, on a stone plinth, with stone and brick dressings, a floor band, a copedparapet, and slate roofs with coped gables. There are three storeys, a double depth plan, and fronts of seven and three bays, the end bays on the main front projecting slightly. In the centre, steps with a curved wrought ironbalustrade lead to a doorway with a plain surround and a fanlight. Most of the windows are sashes with flat brick arches. The windows in the upper floor of the right return have keystones.[5][7]
Running along the front of the forecourt is a dwarf rendered wall with stone coping and a wrought iron spearhead railing. In the centre is a pair of panelled stone piers with stepped pyramidal caps, wrought iron double gates and an overthrow, and to the left is a rendered pier with a cornice cap and double wrought iron gates.[8]
A farmhouse, later a public house, in painted brick with pantile roofs. There are three storeys and four bays. On the front is a lean-to porch, and the windows are cross-casements with segmental heads. Attached to the front is a garden wall in Bulwell stone with ramped rounded coping and a wooden gateway, extending for about 20 metres (66 ft).[5][10]
The wall is in stone with gabledcoping, and extends along the north and west sides of the churchyard. At the corner is a pair of square stone gate piers with pyramidal caps and wrought iron double gates. On the north sides is a similar smaller gateway with single gate.[11]
