About the STRATFORD SUB CASTLE Conservation Area
The STRATFORD SUB CASTLE Conservation Area covers about 281 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1984. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 26 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Lawrence, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
