The Historic England downloadable data is OGL:

https://historicengland.org.uk/terms/website-terms-conditions/data-downloads/

There's the usual disclaimer that if any part of the data is sourced 
from OS, then OS may also assert rights over it. But I think that's just 
backside covering by HE; there doesn't seem to be anything in the data 
that is likely to fall foul of OS rights.

If you actually download the data itself, then the zip file comes with a 
copy of the OGL and a PDF which essentially repeats the page cited above.

What information on there are you specifically interested in? If it 
helps, the data in the grey box is all explicitly OGL - the entry 
details are directly from the bulk downloads (as above), and the 
location data is inferred from ONS and OS open data products as well as 
the Historic Counties Trust. Mapcodes and Pluscodes use the standard 
open source algorithms as per their respective creators.

It has just occurred to me that the credits page doesn't mention these 
additional sources (because, when I originally put the site together, I 
wasn't using them). I do need to update that!

At some point, when I have sufficient circular tuits, I also want to 
cross-reference the Historic England GIS downloads with the ONS and OS 
Open UPRN datasets, to see if I can identify the correct UPRN for each 
entry.
