Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

All Saints and St George, Beaford

On the South porch is an undated dial which has seen better days. Mrs Crowley noted on her 1953 drawing that it was made of white marble but it is more probably slate. It is still legible though the numerals on the afternoon side are becoming indistinct and it has lost its gnomon. Vi and VI are transfixed by a horizontal line. It is not a brilliant dial but it does not deserve what appears to be a bullet hole at IIII o’clock. It measures 300mmw x 450mmh.
