About the Thelwall Village Conservation Area
The Thelwall Village Conservation Area covers about 41 hectares and was designated by Warrington Borough Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 12 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
