About the Tattershall Conservation Area
The Tattershall Conservation Area covers about 17 hectares within East Lindsey District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (8 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 14 Grade II). The most significant is Church of Holy Trinity, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
