What it is to be Young

Account of the commission and installation of a Forest of Dean sandstone analemmatic sundial at Alleyn’s Junior School. The project was funded by 10-year-old Iris Ferrar, who won a national writing competition and wanted an active piece amalgamating maths and art. Iris subsequently became the sundial tour guide.
