About the Chaddleworth Conservation Area
The Chaddleworth Conservation Area covers about 17 hectares and was designated by West Berkshire Council in 1978. Inside the boundary are 14 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 13 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade I. 2 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
