A Boulby Sundial at Walton Hall near Wakefield.

This article focuses on the multi-faceted sandstone sundial dating from 1813 at Walton Hall, the home of Sir Charles Waterton. The sundial was crafted by the self-taught stonemason George Boulby and features a polar axis serving as gnomons, with approximately sixteen dial faces still visible. Each face is designed for a specific part of the world and includes curves indicating zodiacal constellations. The article also speculates on Waterton's potential early interest in sundials, possibly stemming from his time at Stonyhurst College, known for its solar studies
