Re: [Talk-GB] Parish boundaries

2009/3/11 Chris Hill chillly...@yahoo.co.uk:
 The Church Commissioners have up-to-date information about the parish
 boundaries in England  Wales and they have a website [1] showing parish
 boundaries.  I have seen some parish boundaries have started to appear
 based on NPE maps.  In many cases the boundaries have changed in the 50+
 years since the NPE maps were printed - I can see this on modern OS maps
 but I can't, of course, use these modern data.

Also note that in some places the ecclesiastical parish boundaries are
disjoint from the legal parish boundaries used as bottom tier of local
government. This is probably most common in Unitary Authority regions,
particularly London.

Re: [Talk-GB] What should we do with the towns/cities section on the

 Before we start are people happen with using ceremonial counties (such
 as Cheshire and Berkshire) at this top level? Cheshire was split into
 two unitaries a few weeks ago!

Ceremonial counties sounds reasonable as they're unlikely to change that 
often unlike administrative districts - and if you start using anything too 
historical then what's on the ground could be difficult to equate with 
what's on the site.

Actually you've slightly jumped the gun with Cheshire.

Cheshire becomes two (four actually if you include the two that already 
existed which are still part of the Ceremonial county) unitaries on 1st 
April.
