Sts Peter & Paul Church, Market Overton, Rutland

The dial is mounted on the south-west corner of the tower, on the south side, on extended quoin stones. It was probably painted, but no traces now remain. It is said to have been a gift from Isaac Newton whose grandmother may have lived at the nearby Manor House. Another dial (SRN 4655) abuts this one.
