About This Website

Marsh Christian award ceremony

This website is funded entirely by the Webmaster but with the co-operation of the National Trust. Some of the pages would have been impossible to produce without access to National Trust information and their archives. We are seeking information about the Batteries so if you have relevant material, particularly of an historical nature, please email the Webmaster with details.

The pages have been tested on Firefox 1.0, Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 8.1 and Opera 8.0 and found to appear as designed, if you have any difficulty please email the Webmaster. If you are using an earlier browser version why not upgrade? Firefox is free, as are other browsers, is only a 5mb download and will run on Windows versions from 98.

Javascript is used for popup windows, to display photographs and images supporting the text, and the drop-down menu. If you choose to have Javascript turned off the images should appear in a new window and you will have to use the browser back button to return to the source page. Navigation through the pages is possible by using the browser back button to return to the "Home" page. The same conventions have been used on all the pages; underlined text in blue, with a yellow background when the cursor is hovered over it, will either redirect to another part of the page or initiate a popup window or new window when clicked. Within the main page content blue text will generate a box with additional information when the cursor is hovered over it. The page content box is just over 700 pixels wide so a 800 pixel wide viewport should allow all the page to be seen without a horizontal scrollbar. Except in a few instances web safe colours have been used but it is recommended you have your monitor set to display a minimum of 16 bit colour.

The photograph above is of the Webmaster receiving the Marsh Heritage Volunteer Award, from Brian Marsh, on behalf of the volunteers who are working to open the Needles New Battery. The award is given annually by the Marsh Christian Trust in association with the National Trust.
