I need a corrected standardized place name for Wakefield All Saints Church in Wakefield, Yorkshire,
This is for James Holmes (G7MG-26Y).
Well, right now there is a standardized place name for the Parish of Wakefield that looks like this:
Wakefield All Saints, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom (Parish 1801-1974), and it goes to this lat long: 53.757541,-1.449407, which is not even on a church.
It IS close to the All Saints Church of Woodlesford, as well as the All Saints Parish Hall of Woodlesford.
The All Saints Church is now a private home, but it is located here: 53.758075,-1.446660
Here is a website with a photo of the older church before it was a home: https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/WRY/Rothwell/PhotoFrames/WoodlesfordAllSaintsPW
Here is a realtor website with photos of the home now: https://www.onthemarket.com/details/6566020/
It is now called All Saints House.
Here is the lat long for the All Saints Parish Hall of Woodlesford: 53.757021,-1.450236
But I digress. Here's the real church I need a standardized place name for:
The Wakefield All Saints Church is actually now known as the Wakefield Cathedral and is located here: 53°40′59″N 1°29′49″W
Here is a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakefield_Cathedral
Here is the church's website: https://www.wakefieldcathedral.org.uk/
Thank you for your kind help.

We have made improvements to the description of All Saints parish in Wakefield: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?focusedId=2965728
The parish boundaries from 1851 do not actually include the Wakefield Cathedral...
We made a second entry to describe the Cathedral itself: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?focusedId=10950562
