In 1971 Norman Lister RIBA researched buildings in the designated area of the City of Milton Keynes for the Development Corporation and included 300 that were considered worthy of conservation in the book Building Conservation in Milton Keynes – a photographic index.
Those in our parish were as follows – we hope to research these and provide up to date information about them and modern photos on these pages in the future:
