Description
This sundial, located approximately 7 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of the Holy Trinity, was created in 1731 by James Harrison, who may have reused parts from a medieval churchyard cross. It is made of limestone ashlar and has a square plan. The sundial features a stepped two-course base, a chamfered tapered shaft with a moulded capital, and a bronze dial with a gnomon. James Harrison and his brother John were clockmakers in Barrow during the early 18th century, with John later gaining recognition for his prize-winning chronometer.
