About the Warboys Conservation Area

Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 21 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary Magdalene, Grade I. 18 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
