About the CHILMARK Conservation Area
The CHILMARK Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 38 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 37 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Margaret of Antioch, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
