About the Ewelme Conservation Area
The Ewelme Conservation Area covers about 29 hectares and was designated by South Oxfordshire District Council in 1978. Inside the boundary are 40 listed buildings (4 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 35 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.
