About the Moulton Conservation Area
The Moulton Conservation Area covers about 27 hectares within West Northamptonshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 39 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 38 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
