About the Cherington Conservation Area
The Cherington Conservation Area covers about 9.0 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 21 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Nicholas, Grade I. 3 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
