Of these, eleven are at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.

Most of the listed buildings are houses, cottages, farmhouses and farm buildings, and many of these are timber framed, dating from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The Llangollen Canal runs through the parish, and many structures associated with this are listed, including bridges and a lock.
