Dial in Derbyshire

A very tall dial in the churchyard, the plate being 2000 above ground level and not easily photographed. The circular dialplate is very corroded. Scroll and leaf pattern pierced gnomon. Shows 4am to 8pm, probably in 30 and 15 min marks. No divisions visible. Probably uses IIII. Mounted on a square section baluster stone pedestal with square capital and base, on a three-step circular stone plinth (repaired in 2000) - in all 2000 high. On the square base of the pedestal, ’J Tattersath 1812’ probably a date of restoration. The third illustration is from a lantern slide, probably of the early 20th century.
