That does rather assume the right building has been marked!  I've just
come across a case where the OS have marked the church hall and left
the church as an ordinary building.  Whilst I mapped it using only the
initial sighting on the ground, and OS OpenData (ignoring their PW),
subsequently checking with other resources, they seem to have thought
the lift motor room, for the hall, was a tower (Pathfinder Series) and
missed the small spire on the church itself, even though the church is
the larger, and more impressive, building.  (I will recheck it on the
ground, but nothing so far seems to contradict my initial mapping.)
