About the Monk Fryston Conservation Area
The Monk Fryston Conservation Area covers about 41 hectares within North Yorkshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 8 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Wilfrid, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
