Hi Mike,
it's not that simple ;-)
I can offer you ~10K Grade I listed buildings and their coordinates from
Wikidata:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/tabernacle.html?wdq=claim%5B1435%3A…
(there's a download button)
We also have ~23K Grade II* buildings:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/tabernacle.html?wdq=claim%5B1435%3A…
Many of those won't have an article on English Wikipedia. For those that
do, you can use the Wikidata items (Qxxx) from above to get the English
Wikipedia articles via the Wikidata api:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbgetentities
Once you have those, you can try to get the initial "blurb":
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bextracts
Cheers,
Magnus

I apologise in advance for asking this in what seems a
Technical List, but
@pigsonthewing tells me I can.
I want to extract all National Trust names, co-ordinates and the first
part of the description from wiki.
Having spent a day working through the API, I still cannot see how to do
this aside from scraping.
I am sure I am missing something very simple, so if anyone would kindly
email me, I would be grateful.
Mike
