About the Geddington Conservation Area
The Geddington Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by North Northamptonshire Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 45 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 42 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary Magdalen, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
