Description

The sundial located immediately to the south of the nave of the cathedral in Lichfield is a notable structure, likely dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, with its first recorded mention in 1781. It is made of ashlar stone and features a tall quatrefoil pier on a plinth. This pier supports a ring and a moulded capital, which in turn holds a cube with dials and gnomons on each face, topped with a reeded domical cap. The sundial is an unusual feature, and its origin is not known. It was removed in 1781 and re-erected at the west end of the cathedral in 1785. It was then removed and sold in 1881, before being returned and re-erected at its current location in 1929.
