About the Aldsworth Conservation Area
The Aldsworth Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 20 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Bartholomew, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
