Werrington is a civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands, Staffordshire, England. It contains seven listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. All the listed buildings are designated at Grade II, the lowest of the three grades, which is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] The parish contains the village of Werrington and the surrounding area. The listed buildings consist of three farmhouses, a larger house and its lodge, a stone post that possibly once marked a boundary, and a milepost.
The post, which probably marked a boundary, is in millstone grit. It has a truncated shaft, it is about 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 m) tall, and is on a roughly hewn base.[2]
The farmhouse, which was later altered and extended, is in stone on a plinth, the gables have been rebuilt in brick, the roof is tiled, and has verge parapets with pitched copings on corbelled kneelers. There are two storeys, two bays, and a lower single-bay brick extension on the left. The windows are casements in chamfered surrounds.[3]
