Description
The sundial base, located in the churchyard about 9 meters south-south-east of the porch of the Church of St. Anne, dates from 1717. It is made of stone and measures approximately 1.05 meters square. The base consists of stones that form a platform of varying thickness, just above ground level, with additional stone below. In the center, there is a pillar that is about 200 millimeters square, with its sides chamfered to create an octagonal shape that sweeps out to a square at the top. The top part is partially missing, and there are holes in the remaining section for fixing a plate. The base is inscribed with '1717 / T:P / C:W'.
