I've been adding tags such as "listed_status", "heritage", 
"heritage:operator" and "HE_ref" to buildings which are already mapped 
or that I map using aerial imagery. The values for these tags have come 
from the Historic England heritage website. I'm not copying over the 
listing's detailed descriptions or anything like that.

Those fields are all given in the OGL licenced datasets and it seems OSM 
acknowledges the dataset here: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#National_Heritage_List_for_England_(Historic_England) 
so I think that's OK.

I was just wondering if there was a layer to help us improve mapping 
(rather than me having to keep the HE website open). I mainly use iD but 
maybe I'll look into the JOSM idea Berrely suggests.

Thanks.
