Description
The sundial in St Garmon's Churchyard is an octagonal baluster-shaped pillar made of sandstone. It stands on a rough stone circular base with steps. The sundial features a bronze dial and gnomon, and the dial is inscribed with the name of a maker from Shropshire. Although the top edge of the stone is damaged, the date can still be seen facing south.
