About the Wadenhoe Conservation Area
The Wadenhoe Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by North Northamptonshire Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 36 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 35 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Michael and All Angels, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
