In total there are 317 listed buildings in the city of Southampton, of which 14 are Grade I, 20 are Grade II* and the remainder Grade II.[1]
In England, a building or structure is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[2] English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[3] There are three grades of listing status. The Grade II designation is the lowest, and is used for "nationally important buildings of special interest".[4] Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest", while Grade I (defined as being of "exceptional interest" and greater than national importance), is the highest of the three grades.[4]
This list summarises 39 Grade II-listed buildings and structures whose names begin with P to R. Numbered buildings with no individual name are listed by the name of the street on which they stand.

This seven-foot high statue of Lord Palmerston, who was M.P. for South Hampshire and Prime Minister, was erected by public subscription and unveiled by the Earl of Carnarvon on 2 June 1869, four years after Palmerston's death.[5] The sculptor, Thomas Sharpe, had to sue the committee to obtain settlement of his fee of £800.[6] The statue is made of white marble and features Palmerston robed in a Roman-style toga standing on a square granite plinth on which is the inscription: "Palmerston K.G. G.C.B. Born 1784. Died 1865. A burgess of Southampton. Erected by Public Subscription. Frederick Perkins Mayor A.D. 1869". | [1] | [2] |

Close to the corner of New Road, opposite Palmerston Park, this is part of a group of five Regency-style houses. From 1825 to 1890, the four houses in Palmerston Road were known as Washington Place, and then became Portland Place, before taking their present name in 1901.[7] Originally numbered 1 & 2, this pair of two-storeyed houses are much lower than their neighbours and are immediately adjacent to the eastern entrance to the railway tunnel. Although they appear to have been one symmetrical house, they were originally built as two properties. The main part of the building has a central doorway and two curved full height brick bow windows; the second doorway is in a linking wing on the north. The doorways are virtually identical and have projecting entablatures supported by detached Doric columns.[7] | [3] | [4] |

This property was occupied by the girls’ school until 1962, after its move from No. 33 in 1922.[7] It is a tall narrow three-storeyed red-brick property with a parapet concealing the roof. It has a three-light bow window at the first floor and a single sash window on the second floor. The doorcase is behind a Tuscan portico. | [5] | [6] | |

This property is similar to No. 32 but without the bow window and is now rendered and painted. Between 1890 and 1916 it was occupied by a draper, before becoming a girls’ school until 1922.[7] Together with Nos. 30–32, it is now occupied by an English Language school.[8] | [7] | [8] | |

The Congregational Church at Peartree Green was founded in 1808[9] although the present church building was not erected until thirty years later.[10] Built in the neo-decorated style of yellow brick, it has a gabled front with a small stone spire. The main, north-eastern, front has three windows, the central one being traceried and those either side of the arched doorcase are lancets. The nave is of five bays with brick and stone buttresses. | [9] | [10] |

Built by Francis Mylles, who was M.P. for Winchester, this house was later occupied by Lieutenant-General Henry Shrapnel and by Rear Admiral Sir John Wentworth Loring.[11] The house is a long two-storeyed building with a stucco front and a tiled roof behind a castellated parapet. The main (south-eastern) facade has three sash windows on the first floor in the central section and two in each of the wings. The central part is set back, with a ground floor verandah between the projecting wings; the verandah has five wooden archways with Neo-Tudor heads. The wings have iron balconettes to the first floor windows. The property is now used as a care home for patients with mental health problems.[12] | [11] | [12] | |

This former National school was built in memory of Rev. William Davies (died 1856), who had been the incumbent at Jesus Chapel,[13] which stands immediately opposite the school. There are two separate buildings, linked at the ground floor; both are built of coursed rubble and stone, and are one storey high with attics and gable ends. The corners have long and short quoins and the windows are mullioned and transomed casements with hoods over the windows in the gables. The north-eastern building has a small spire at the centre with a louvred lantern and a weather vane. Above the porch is a tablet inscribed in memory of Rev. Davies.[14][circular reference] The south-western building has a bellcote over the gable. The building is now occupied as private residences.[15] | [13] | [14] |

The main facade has three round-headed arches rising the full height of the building, echoing the design of 30 Carlton Place next-door.
