Canewdon Church Conservation Area Appraisal - Amazon Web ...

6.3 From the village green there are views into the conservation area, which has a
hedge boundary with trees and scrub. The church tower rises above the trees
with glimpses of the red brick vicarage through gaps in the hedge. Vicarage
Cottage and its gardens are also visible from the green. Despite the modern
housing around the green, the rural quality of the adjoining conservation area
creates an impression of a traditional village setting overlooked by the parish
church (Fig. 10).

6.4 Approached from the High Street the conservation area lies beyond the
transitional zone of modern housing development that separates it from the High
Street conservation area. This is a quiet stretch of the High Street that carries no
through traffic. The view towards the conservation area narrows towards the end
of the street with mature trees obscuring the view of the church and churchyard
beyond (Fig. 11). An old iron side gate with a heart-shaped detail and adjacent
wooden gate terminate the street, inviting further investigation and progression
to the end (Fig. 12).
