Description
The sundial and grave slab, dated 1637, are located approximately 8 metres south of the nave of the Church of St. Michael. Made from gritstone and limestone, the sundial shaft stands about 80 centimetres high and is set into a square plinth raised on three blocks, all secured with iron staples set in lead. The east side of the plinth rests on a stone block that covers the west end of a narrow grave slab, which features a brass plaque inscribed with "HEARE LYETH THE BODY / OF ROBERT WEST ANNO / DOMINI 1637 MAY 16." The sundial shaft is chamfered with straight run-out stops, although the gnomon is missing, and it bears the weathered initials "R W" on its face. This sundial is similar to the one at Kildwick and is included for its group value.
