Bottesford & Lutterworth Churches Google Inside
Two more churches have had the Google Business Photo package from us and they went on-line this week. Both of them are important UK churches. St Mary’s at Lutterworth has the Wycliffe connection and St Mary’s at Bottesford has the fantastic chancel filled with monuments to the Earls and Dukes of Rutland. We ensured that for both tours the most important parts of the churches were included. These tours will be added to the...
Richard Buckley Event
Richard Buckley of Leicester Univeristy has been on TV and in the press with regard to the ongoing Richard III dig in Leicester. On Tuesday October 9th at Narborough Parish Centre (on Desford Road) at 7:30PM, Richard will be giving a presentation on the Highcross Excavations to the Narborough and Littlethorpe Heritage Society – and I am hopeful we may get some updates on the Richard III dig. This talk is one of our highlights of 2012...
St Mary de Castro Walk Inside!
We have had some excellent publicity with the feature in the Leicester Mercury about our recent Google Business Photo tour for the St Mary de Castro church in Leicester. They need urgent repairs to the spire and it seemed an ideal opportunity to help with the new technology from Google. You can read more here – Leicester Mercury Link. If you would like to help with the Spire Appeal or make a donation please contact them on...
Time marches on
Do not panic! I have not forgotten the Church site and updates I will be starting again shortly. Due to certain changes in my work I have had to take some time out and concentrate on some other issues, but all is well and I expect to start again within the next week. The main task as before is to move everything from the old site and concentrate on the new. I went to Crete a few weeks ago, seems like months already. Managed to visit...
Church Entry Updates
Well we are already in June, although the weather feels more like April. With the wet weather comes less chance to get and out and photograph new churches, also it is taking longer than expected to transfer information from the old site to the new site – its basically a manual process even though I have templates setup for the new site. I also need to concentrate on the business of course and with recent developments with...
Inside a Church with Google?
Recently Google have launched a new product which I am very excited about. If you know Google Streetview then this new venture brings ‘streetview’ inside a building or business. A natural progression from Google in my opinion as this really allows you to explore the interiors as if you were there. I have recently been awarded Google Business Photos status for Leicestershire & Rutland after meeting their...
Good TV at Last!
I do not watch much TV if the truth be known, firstly I do not have much time for it these days and there seems to be so much nonsense on I have given up. I do of course have a passion for documentaries and although there are perhaps one or two I may take a interest in at the moment there are three great series. Now I must admit that I have been catching up with them on BBC Iplayer and I can recommend the following; Robert...
