About the Burgh le Marsh Conservation Area
The Burgh le Marsh Conservation Area covers about 7.9 hectares within East Lindsey District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 17 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 16 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
