ABOUT THE SILKSWORTH HALL CONSERVATION AREA The Silksworth Hall Conservation Area is a unique blend of history and architecture. Originating as a medieval settlement, it now features a mix of homes from the 18th to 20th centuries. The area encompasses the early village of Silksworth, the historic gardens of Doxford House, and the grounds of Silksworth Hall. Although some of the hall's grounds were developed in the 1970s, the core character remains intact.

A notable feature is the narrow Warden Law Lane, bordered by tall stone walls and lush greenery, giving the area a peaceful, enclosed feel. Most buildings, like the grand Silksworth Hall and Doxford House, showcase architectural styles from rustic stone to Italian Renaissance.

Today, the area is primarily residential, with the majority of buildings well-maintained, reflecting the area's historical layout and significance.
