About the Everdon Conservation Area
The Everdon Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares within West Northamptonshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 26 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 25 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.
