About the Penn and Tylers Green Conservation Area
The Penn and Tylers Green Conservation Area covers about 44 hectares and was designated by Buckinghamshire Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 44 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 42 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of Holy Trinity, Grade I. 31 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
