The town and its surrounding area contain over 200 listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England.
Mansfield was a royal manor in the 11th and 12th centuries, and since the Middle Ages it has been the main market centre for west Nottinghamshire.
During the Industrial Revolution, mills were built long the River Maun, and the town also became a centre for stocking frame knitting, but few buildings from this period have survived.
