Arksey conservation area

Arksey was designated a conservation area on 8 October 1990. A full appraisal is yet to be carried out.

To view the location of the conservation area please go to the Heritage Map.

Arksey is a rural settlement that has expanded with suburban developments from the twentieth century. It is on slightly higher ground than the surroundings and would appear to have been previously an island in marshy land. The conservation area is mainly based around the church of All Saints but also extends along Ings Lane to the south and eastwards towards Arksey Hall. There is modern suburban infill that separates the main areas of historic buildings. There are several examples of historic buildings that are end on to the road which were previously even more prevalent as can be seen on historic maps and photographs of the area.

Limestone was the traditional material, which is rendered on some buildings but there is also some brick. Principle roof materials are slate and clay pantiles. Limestone boundary walls are an important and extensive feature of the conservation area.

Within the conservation area there are eight listed structures. These can be viewed on the Heritage Map which gives the address, grade and reference number of the listed building. The reference number can be used to find the listing description for any individual listed building using the Historic England database. There is also a scheduled monument called Roundabout Moat near the railway to the west. The Pinfold just outside the conservation area is also listed.

The above description of the conservation area is only a brief overview subject to a full appraisal that will consider in more depth the features that make up the significance of the area.
