I didn’t like the “man-made” part of the tower tag, TBH, nor what I took to be the implication that it was a stand-alone element, which it generally isn’t.
The tower tag on its own does have a number of useful attributes, though, which could be extended. So if we ignore the man-made tag, we could have church:tower= yes | no church:steeple= yes | no (which could assume the steeple on top of the tower, if both present) followed by the tower:tag=value sets as appropriate.

But then also, this page tells me that "tower:type=bell_tower" is "Widely used for steeples and bell towers": http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dtower Flagpole is easy http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dflagpole The only thing I don't have a ready answer for is "number of steps", and "bells" as distinct from their enclosures. So I'm left suspecting that maybe you're aware of these things but there's an itch they don't scratch...? Best Dan 2017-02-10 10:27 GMT+00:00 Stuart Reynolds <stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk<mailto:stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk>>: Hi All, On OS maps there is a distinction between churches with towers, churches with steeples, and “other” places of worship. These are all readily surveyable (so that we are not taking data from OS). But as far as I can determine, there is no tagging scheme that would allow towers or steeples to be added, nor to have (for example) the height of tower, numbers of steps, flagpoles, bells, etc added (which could be useful). Am I right, or have I missed something? If right, do we need to agree a tagging scheme that would allow us to enter that info?
