Of these, one is listed at Grade I, the highest grade, another one is listed at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II. The parish consists of the market town of Frodsham and surrounding countryside. The River Weaver and the Weaver Navigation run through the northern part of the parish, and there are two associated listed structures. The Warrington to Chester railway line runs in a north–south direction through the parish. Frodsham railway station, and the Frodsham viaduct crossing the Weaver, are listed. The oldest listed building, and the only one at Grade I is St Laurence's Church, which contains some Norman features. The Grade II* building is the former vicarage, which was extended in the 19th century by John Douglas. Most of the other listed buildings are houses and associated structures, shops, and cottages, some of which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries and are timber-framed. The other listed structure include farmhouses, farm buildings, public houses, hotels, boundary stones, tide stones, a sundial, memorials, and telephone kiosks. The newest listed building is a former anti-aircraft operations room that was built in about 1951.
