About the BARFORD ST MARTIN Conservation Area
The BARFORD ST MARTIN Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 27 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 24 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Martin, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
