About the Church Hanborough Conservation Area
The Church Hanborough Conservation Area covers about 75 hectares and was designated by West Oxfordshire District Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 20 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.
