During the Transforming the Trent Valley scheme, we had the opportunity to work with skilled volunteers in digitally scanning some of our historic monuments and buildings. We also had to opportunity to create digital representations of how some of our ‘lost’ monuments might have appeared in the past. Working with our skilled volunteers, we were able to scan some of our historic monuments and buildings, creating ‘digital twins’ of the original monuments. This has a number of benefits, for example, the scan of Anchor Church shown in the main image above and downstream of our current project area has a number of practical applications. It means that people who are unable to travel to or visit the actual model can visit millimetre perfect models, whether for study or out of personal interest. It also means that we have a baseline of the current condition of the monument giving the opportunity to monitor management plans or develop alternatives.
