Description
The Dillington Sundial, located in the churchyard of All Saints, is a Grade II listed sundial dating from 1678, created by Robert Marks of London. It features a baluster-shaped stone base that stands about one meter tall on a plinth made up of three square stone steps. The sundial itself is currently missing. Originally, it was placed on the bowling green at Knighton Gorges, but after the great house was demolished, Squire Bisset donated it to the parish in 1826, leading to its installation in the churchyard. This sundial is historically significant as one of the early relics of Knighton Gorges.
