About the GRITTLETON Conservation Area
The GRITTLETON Conservation Area covers about 55 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 34 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 31 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.
