Description

The pillar sundial in the north garden at RAF Headley Court is a notable feature dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It serves as the centerpiece of a cruciform broadwalk located to the east of the swimming pool. The sundial is constructed from stone and has an octagonal base consisting of four steps. Atop the base is a swagged drum that supports a cushioned column adorned with fruit and flower drops. The column is crowned by an octagonal stone that features a gnomon and a dial on each face, along with an inscription running around the base. Originally, the sundial was topped with a group of lead Atlases carrying a globe on their bent shoulders, which is believed to be the globe currently found on one of the southern boundary pillars.
