Image slice with a landscape image

This slice allows you to add a single image with an optional heading and introductory text. If you add a landscape image, the image will fill the full width of the slice's container. If you upload a portrait or square image, the image size will be reduced slightly so that it doesn't fill too much of the user's viewport. You can override these defaults by manually selecting an image orientation.

The 1921 Census helped me to break down the most life-changing of ‘brick walls’. I've discovered my mum's birth mother and family.

I’ve managed to trace back to the mid-1500s! I can’t believe it! Utterly engrossing and I have uncovered some quite moving and heartbreaking stories attached to various ancestors. You don’t need any qualifications to start - just time patience, and some information.
