Description

The sundial located in the churchyard of the Church of St Cynidr & St Peter is an 18th-century octagonal structure made of red sandstone. It features a tapered design with an ovolo and cavetto moulded square capital, all resting on a stepped plinth. The sundial plate is made of bronze and is inscribed with "GLASBURY 1741," along with a later addition of the date "1782." At the time of inspection in July 1995, the gnomon was noted to be broken.
