Cusworth conservation area

Cusworth was designated a conservation area on 18 December 1981. A full appraisal has yet to be carried out.

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

Cusworth is an estate village that has some suburban developments from the late twentieth century within it. The conservation area is made up of Cusworth Hall and its grounds and estate cottages to the east. The park is a Grade II Registered Park and Garden of Special Interest. There is a scheduled monument to the field east of the property called Grasmere House which is indicative of Cusworth being a shrunken medieval village. It appears that the main route through the settlement was diverted north to Back Lane with the development of Cusworth Hall. Cusworth is important in that all the elements of a Georgian Country House survive, the lodges, paths, garden walls and structures and estate village.

Limestone was the traditional material, which is rendered on some buildings. Principle roof materials are slate and clay pantiles. Limestone boundary walls are an important and extensive feature of the conservation area. The conservation area is well endowed with mature trees particularly in the grounds of Cusworth Hall.

Within the conservation area there are nine 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.

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.
