Tapeley Park, Instow

In the centre of a flower bed at the top of a flight of steps, south east of the house, is a brass horizontal sundial showing the hours IV-VIII divided into halves and quarters. The motto reads ’ Sun or shadow God rules’. It is mounted on an ornate red sandstone pedestal which stands on two octagonal steps.
