About the Thrapston Conservation Area
The Thrapston Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by North Northamptonshire Council in 1996. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 28 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St James, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
