About the Horsham St Faiths Con Area Conservation Area
The Horsham St Faiths Con Area Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by Broadland District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 11 Grade II). The most significant is Church of the Blessed Virgin and St Andrew, Grade I. 8 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
