I knocked the whole thing together in one day. There are many anomalies.
Anything more would be a large amount of work.

Everything has been done without human intervention. My coastline database
is more accurate than my placename database. (See the comment at the bottom

Ordnance Survey website. If anybody has a better database I would be grateful
to receive a copy.

Because it doesn't end in -bury (in the more common form).
I will today upload an improved website with some corrections and new maps.
