About the DONHEAD ST MARY Conservation Area
The DONHEAD ST MARY Conservation Area covers about 9.8 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 15 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
