I thought that i had finished this but have got stuck on 2 of the uncluded lights. I cannot find a place name to fit 25D where i have ?LE?D?
nor 19d where i have one that is close but doesnt end in O. I am pretty sure the last O is correct as 41A| is clued as an anagram.......
For the record on 19D i have
?A?S?L?O?O Could it be MARSALFORN but ending with an O?

One clued light that has stumped me is 28D
Web designer commonly in the garden E?E?R? (6)
Please put me out of my misery!

The answer to 41a is SEA PLANTAIN (so you're right about MARSALFORN at 19d).

I can see 25D beginning with X...what odd place names this place has!
Epeira(spider)
What s the clue for 25D?
36a Attendant meets men in stately home ?ANO?
It must be "manor" but I don't understand the first part of clue. Could someone explain?
Man(attendant) + or(men-other ranks)
man(attendant meets or(men , other ranks)
25d XLENDI 19d does end in N 43a anag 'alpine Santa'
sorry, 41a (not 43a) is the anag that gives the N ending for 19d.

thank you for the spider answer so is 19D the place MARSALAFORO?
No, it's definitely an N at the end (as at 41 A).
The answer to 41a is SEA PLANTAIN (so you're right about MARSALFORN at 19d).
