[edit] Usage

This infobox has been constructed using the simple syntax of Template:Make Infobox and Template:Make Infobox Entry as introduced at Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/Simple templates.It provided a structure that can be used for UK properties ranging from National Trust and English Heritage properties through to gardens (RHS and others) and small nature reserves. The geographic data provide enough information for GPS and Web applications while not overwhelming short articles with map images. The co-ordinates field adds a link at the top of the article page.

The template text is copied and pasted to the article then the fields are completed as needed.To keep the coding simple, there are few mandatory fields although the property_name field is an obvious requirement. All fields accept text strings.
