About the CHILTON FOLIAT Conservation Area
The CHILTON FOLIAT Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 22 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.
