Description
This sundial, located approximately 20 metres to the south-west of the porch of the Church of St. Peter, dates from the mid-18th century, with the dial itself dated 1745. It is made of ashlar sandstone and features a single step leading up to a square platform composed of two large slabs. The sundial is supported by a Tuscan column that has an exaggerated torus and a square abacus, which retains the dated dial, although it is currently without a gnomon.
