List of brick Gothic buildings in England

The list of the Gothic brick works in England is part of the list of plant brick building works of the Gothic period in which the entire European inventory of these buildings is as complete as possible listed. The only buildings included are those on which the brick appears somewhere or, in the case of muddy surfaces, at least the brick structure of the masonry is recognizable.

Cultural setting:
In England, brick began to be used for sophisticated buildings centuries later than in continental Europe.

The ratio of the numbers of the different types of buildings differs significantly from that in the continental northern brick Gothic. In England there are relatively few religious buildings among them, and hardly any accumulations in cities.

In Nottinghamshire and Shropshire , buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries that were or are no longer Gothic are definitely mentioned as the beginning of brick construction.
