About the Nafferton Conservation Area
The Nafferton Conservation Area covers about 38 hectares and was designated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in 1981. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 15 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. 39 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
