About the Bromfield Conservation Area
The Bromfield Conservation Area covers about 14 hectares and was designated by Shropshire Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 19 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 17 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary the Virgin, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
