About the Corby Old Village Conservation Area
The Corby Old Village Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by North Northamptonshire Council in 2007. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 10 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St John the Baptist, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
