Description

This sundial, likely from the late 19th century, is located approximately three metres west of Escrick Park. It features a white artificial stone base and a brass gnomen, standing about 1.25 metres high. The sundial has a fluted columnar pedestal topped with three putti surrounding an urn-shaped base. At the time of the re-survey, the gnomen was partly destroyed. This sundial is included for its group value.
