About the Woodford Conservation Area
The Woodford Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by North Northamptonshire Council in 2010. Inside the boundary are 20 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 17 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
