Description

The sundial located in front of the orangery of Heaton Hall is a Grade II listed structure, dated 1756 and crafted by Daniel Clegg, a joiner from Manchester. It is made of sandstone and features a vase-shaped pedestal that is intricately carved with leaves at both the base and neck, along with drapery around the body. The sundial has a copper plate that includes an inscription with the signature and the date 1756, although the gnomon is damaged. This sundial is the only remaining relic of the mid-18th century park before it was remodeled later in the 18th century.
