[never trust a geocoder...]
1. If you know where it is, why are you geocoding it again?

2. When I geocode "SN67AG, UK", I get what I think you believe are the
correct results:
http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=SN67AG,%20UK&geocode=1

3. When I geocode the "address" in your page:
"40 High Street,Highworth,Swindon,Wiltshire,SN6 7AQ, UK"
http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=40%20High%20Street,Highworth,Swindon,Wiltshire,SN6%207AQ,%20UK&geocode=1
I get:
[ 0 ]: High St, Wanborough, Swindon SN4 0, UK (51.548427, -1.694264)

4. The "coordinates" that I see in the code on your page seem to be
correct:
51.630057630497,-1.71100553235115
http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=(51.630057630497,-1.71100553235115)&geocode=1
Why are you using the geocoder and not the "know good" coordinates?
