Blessed Virgin Mary Church, Brixham

If you want to find this dial you must look at the South transept at Upper Brixham: it is not on the church nearer the centre of the town.The gilded slate dial demands your attention with its prominent sun face, having mouth and eyebrows of black, which manages to obscure the date 1782. It shows VI to VI in half hours and measures 620mmh x 380mmw.
