Description

This sundial, located to the south-west of All Saints Church, is likely from the mid 18th century. It features a square plinth on a stepped base that supports a cylindrical baluster shaft topped with a moulded capital. The sundial has a circular brass plate, but it is missing the gnomon. The inscription reads: "Ex Dono Johis Richardson. COLE, LONDON."
