Listed Buildings

While looking for a list of Listed Buildings in Cumbria (Ulverston Listed Buildings) in the panel on the right) I saw this list of some interesting  building types, and couldn't resist repeating it:

There are about 360,000 listed buildings in England, and alongside 197 palaces, 425 castles, 14,393 churches and 3,369 country houses, there are many unusual listed buildings/structures throughout England, including:

    52 garden sheds
    35 fishponds
    1 racing pigeon loft
    3,800 mile posts and stones
    11 army camps
    9 skating rinks
    2,195 telephone boxes
    489 pigsties
    663 lavatories
    192 post boxes
    982 lamp posts
          (From the Visit Cumbria Listed Buildings website)

I wonder how many of each of these there are in Cumbria?
