I've typically done this as building=... for the building and leisure=park for the estate parkland that is often around the house. I guess in many cases it would also be appropriate to mark this as access=private. No doubt we can argue about the value for building. I've used stately_home for some larger examples, but I see no reason you shouldn't use manor_house Examples I've done (all building=stately_home): Audley End, Essex (which is English Heritage): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.02076&lon=0.22267&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire (NT): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.13965&lon=-0.04982&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF and a private one, Ryston Hall (Norfolk): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.58454&lon=0.3989&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF David _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
