Description
The Dial is a commemorative pillar located on the north side of Attleborough Road in Wymondham, dating back to 1675. It is made of limestone and features a square section with two panels on each side. The south side of the pillar has an inscription that reads: "This Pillar was erected by the order of the sessions of the peace of Norfolk as a grateful remembrance of the charity of Sir Edwin Rich Knt who freely gave ye sume of two hundred pounds towards ye repaire of ye highway between Wymondham and Attleborough. A.D. 1675." The sundial that was originally on top of the pillar was lost in 1730. The pillar was moved to its current location by the Department of Transport in 1985.
