About the SHERRINGTON Conservation Area
The SHERRINGTON Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Cosmas and St Damian, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
