Suggestions[edit]

  • GenUKI info (https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SFK/Rattlesden) is useful as an external link - acts as a gateway to a lot of historical/genealogical info per parish
  • Link to parish council, or existence of it as listed in county/district's list of parish councils, is useful: eg for Suffok the list here leads to this summary and thus to this info page and the parish council website. Might be possible to automate on a county-by-county basis, as each county council will probably have a list but totally differently arranged. PamD 09:44, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    GENUKI has coordinates on its pages so shouldn't be too difficult to add however I'd be careful about adding other links since I'd be very careful about the bot picking the wrong website, I don't know if there's a standard website that documents the website of each PC. Also some CPs have joint PCs such as Osmotherley sharing with Mansriggs and Egton with Newland. This would be useful but I suspect it would be too complex for a bot.

Comment[edit]

British Listed Buildings is not really a good site as it is user generated mash=up of the official listing. It should be avoided in favour of the official list. Keith D (talk) 21:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We could use the search here in which we search under "Parish (Civil/Non-Civil)" but this fails when there are 2 or more parishes of the same name in a district (such as Flixton). Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Keith D: do you know of a way of linking to the list of listed buildings from EH since the search doesn't provide a URL for the search as noted. Even if it doesn't it should still be OK to use since a direct URL isn't essential. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I do not know of how to link directly to the list. It appears to loose this over time as refreshing the page often results in returning the whole list. Keith D (talk) 23:54, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
