Description
The sundial, located approximately 12 meters south of the nave of the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, is likely from the late 18th century, although its plate is dated 1724. It is made of limestone and features a vase-shaped baluster with a moulded plinth and capping. The sundial includes a brass plate and gnomon, with the inscription on the plate said to be dated 1724, but it was illegible during the resurvey in January 1987.
