On the anniversary of his death, Parton is celebrating this local figure and his amazing inventions by launching a community photo competition and exhibition. James Clerk Maxwell died in 1879 but all around the globe we use modern technologies based on his discoveries. His electromagnetic theory is considered to have paved the way for both quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of special relativity. This winter, Parton has been celebrating this local figure and his amazing legacy with a community photo competition and exhibition. Hop online to see the entries in a virtual gallery https://maxwellphoto2020.wixsite.com/gallery or pop down to Parton Village Hall Car Park to see the shortlisted photos being displayed in an outdoor exhibition during the Christmas holidays. There were two categories:
