Found my house! http://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-359402-saint-james-cemetery-lodge-next-to-gatew Actually, the sort of people who complain about this data being available are exactly the same ones who don't understand that private land is an infringement on everyone else's liberty. (Try doing a coast walk around Anglesey to see what I mean.) All you need to do is pass a law that says if it ain't on the public online register in polygon format including particulars, then it ain't trespass. Sign up would be quicker than when all those farmers "improved" their land to exempt it from the useless English right to roam legislation. Julian.
