About the Crosby Ravensworth Conservation Area
The Crosby Ravensworth Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares and was designated by Yorkshire Dales National Park in 1994. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 12 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.
