Map Project briefing for volunteers:

Tutorials:

Each of the galleries will be allocated to you so we don’t over-lap. You’ll find the galleries in the menu under Photos. You’ll also see the Marlipins/SAS catalogue.

This is what the public facing map will look like:

And here is the link to the Galleries.

Criteria for not adding photos to map:

Location not identifiable
Interior scenes
Many images of the same view – Churches, Bridges ect. Select those that are unique or historically significant
Ships at sea or docked
Group of people rather than location

NB If it is a location that you don’t recognise, create the pin and place it in the sea! We can then go through all unidentified pins and try and place them later.

Also if you can, add the description.

Also choose a succinct title to differentiate from others – rather than location.

Notes:
I am no longer using the big blue M icon to denote multiple images under one button. I am now suggesting we append the title with a small “m” to denote multiple images.

The Long and Winding Steps

Shoreham’s church of St Mary De Haura has been a landmark for many centuries. For over 250 years the bells suspended in the tower belfry have been rung from the Ringing Room many feet below. The belfry, the ringing room, the clock movement and the tower roof are only accessible via a very narrow spiral staircase in the North East corner of the tower.

Note: video was taken using a remote 360 camera & telescopic pole safely from within the tower parapet.

Hamish McKenzie is the current St. Mary’s Bellringer’s Tower Captain – and one of his additional roles for many years is to ascend the narrow steps to raise the flag on national days and state occasions. www.Shorehambysea.com were granted access to accompany Hamish to the roof to raise the flag of St. George to mark St. George’s Day 2022.

The Bells of St. Mary’s

On Palm Sunday 2022, Mike Riddiford recorded the Bell Ringing before the Service and later recorded a fascinating interview with Ian Vaughan from the St. Mary’s Bell Ringers in the Churchyard. The recording starts with the sound from the inside Ringing Room, where you will hear Ian calling the bells and then later the Tower Captain Hamish leading the bell ringers.

The St. Mary de Haura Bellringers are keen to encourage new ringers to join them. Bell Ringing uses number notation, so it is not necessary to have any musical knowledge, although a sense of rhythm and a good memory can be helpful. Once the basics have been mastered, ringing becomes a group activity with the opportunity of visiting other towers and making new friends.
