Heritage Gateway Improvement

In line with HIAS Principle 5: The national overview of records about the historic environment should continue to be delivered online through the Heritage Gateway, Historic England in partnership with data providers is currently developing a new and better Heritage Gateway.

In replacing the existing Heritage Gateway we are working with our stakeholders to create a more reliable and efficient website by making the best use of modern technologies.

It will be a single, searchable data store that will offer reliable consistent searching across all datasets and will be accessed through redesigned search pages on the Historic England website.

  • The Heritage Gateway is the only place where you can search across national and local Historic Environment Records (HER) datasets to find an overview of England’s historic environment.

The new Heritage Gateway is expected to launch in BETA version in June 2025 on the Historic England website.
