It is not quite as well-known as Stonehenge or parts of Hadrian's Wall, but Harmondsworth Barn in west London joins them as part of a national collection of historic sites under the guardianship of English Heritage.

Arts correspondent Rebecca Jones speaks to Edward Impey, director of heritage protection at English Heritage, and Justine Bayley, secretary of Friends of Harmondsworth Barn.
