Lyme Park [NT] (2), Disley

The dial is on the building known as Lyme Cage, an Elizabethan Tower, rebuilt in 1733-35. The dial may postdate this, and was restored in 1998. The motto reads: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy Youth" (sic) (Eccles. xii. 1.) The original skew (0.5 deg to West) was retained in the restoration. The dial shows 8am to7pm, divided to 15 minutes. There is some spalling. Ref: Gatty
