About the RAMSBURY Conservation Area
The RAMSBURY Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 53 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 51 Grade II). The most significant is Church of the Holy Cross, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
