About the Moreton Pinkney Conservation Area
The Moreton Pinkney Conservation Area covers about 9.3 hectares within West Northamptonshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 32 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 31 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
