New Mapping Functionality Announced

Dove now has improved mapping functionality, allowing tenor weights and BellBoard performance totals to be presented on maps using colour.

To view tenor weights on a map, go to the tower listing (applying any search criteria you want), and choose Map showing tenor weights. Blue towers are the lightest and pink the heaviest, with green, yellow, orange and red used for intermediate weights.

(Here is a screenshot of Leicester Diocese bells mapped by tenor weight)

To view BellBoard performance totals on map, go to the tower search page on BellBoard https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/towers.php, and search for the type of performances you are interested in (e.g. all peals, or quarter peals in the last five years), and follow the link to plot a map or view a list of them on the Dove website.

(This screenshot shows the towers that have had quarter peals or longer rung on them so far this year.)
