Description
SX 69 NE SOUTH TAWTON
1/183 Sundial approximately 110 metres south of Wood House
GV II*
Sundial. 1899-1905 by Thomas Mawson. Granite ashlar with rusticated finish. Slightly tapering octagonal shaft with a moulded plinth on a 2-step base. Around the top of the shaft is carved a Latin quotation below a dentil frieze. A brass sundial is fixed into the flat-topped cap. This sundial has been moved from the lower circular lawn of the formal terraced garden south-east of Wood House (q.v.). It is an original component of an extensive landscaping scheme conceived by Mawson to go with the rebuilding of Wood House (q.v.). Mawson himself considered the whole scheme as one of his major achievements. Source: T H Mawson The Art and Craft of Garden Making, (5th edition) includes copious notes and illustrations of Wood House.
