The figures in the table below show the proportion (%) of regional gross value added (GVA) generated by the Heritage Sector across each region in England in the last five years, based on DCMS economic estimates, and without adjusting for inflation.

It is however recognised that our published estimates are likely to be an underestimate for the Heritage sector due to a narrow definition of the sector. We are working with Historic England to address this matter.

GVA for DCMS sectors can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/684142/Regional_GVA_2016_SubSector_tables.xlsx
