Description
Sundial located in the garden to the south-east of the Old Rectory, likely from the 19th century but incorporating medieval materials. It is made of sandstone ashlar and features a cluster of four colonnettes topped with a square cap that has bead-mould edging. This cap is probably from a late medieval font stand, with a square dial plate set on top.
