Listed buildings in Barrowford

Barrowford is a civil parish in Pendle, Lancashire, England. It contains 34 listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, two are at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The parish contains the village of Barrowford and some surrounding countryside.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal arrived in the parish towards the end of the 18th century.^[1]

The listed buildings reflect the history of the parish. They include farmhouses and farm buildings, some of which have been absorbed by the growing village, larger houses, and weavers' cottages.
