Description
The gateway and sundial at The Dial House, located on St Peter's Street, dates back to a time before the house itself. It features an arched structure made of brick and flint, which leads into a long garden that extends to the causeway. Above the archway, there is a panel with a painted sundial that faces the causeway, giving the structure its name. This gateway and sundial are part of a group that includes Nos 83 to 87 (odd), The George and Dragon Hotel, and Nos 91 and 93 The Causeway.
