St Peter ad Vincula Church, Combe Martin

This is a fine dial gracing the church porch and it has the quality and characteristics of dials made by the Berry family. It is of the right date too but bears no signature. In the top corners are winged heads and below them a star and a waning moon. The date 1753 curves above the sun face surrounding the root of the gnomon. It shows the hours VI - VI divided into halves by lines bearing a fleur de lys and into quarters. A decorative device indicates noon. The dial measures 600mmh x 450mmw.
