I've been using historic=house for a few old houses of various sorts. The wiki has historic=manor, though it is only explained in German (but I assume it is a similar thing): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dmanor
Maybe its also also worth having a listed building tag? eg listed_building=grade1? Craig _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
