Its been many years since I studied copyright law, but i'm unaware if its changed.
Copyright belongs to the photographer unless altered by agreement. Therefore English Heritage can claim copyright on photos they've taken. Photos they own in their archives I would imagine would be included too, if the original owners cannot be found or have agreed to transfer the copyright.
You can walk up and take as many photos as you like, flog them, use them for commercial purposes, etc.
