I like the full name and I like the GB namespace.

May I fork the thread and ask about listed buildings generally?

There's a useful website that claims its info on listed stuff comes from
the Open Government licence.
https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/site/about

I see the wiki says OGL needs reviewing case-by-case.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Government_Licence

Any views on whether it's safe to include data from that site (or from the
source Crown Copyright sites) in the map?

Eg, there are some tags I'd like to include on Ivor House in Taunton.
https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101059941-ivor-house-taunton-deane-taunton-manor-and-wilton-ward

If anyone can give me a steer on how to map the many building parts, that
would be great: all of it is now mosque; only the older part is listed.
I've used building:part=yes but I think that's probably not right/not
sufficient.
