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

Do not confuse this place with St Ives. The clear simple and deep engraving of the dial on the church porch here has survived well since it was done in 1695. Everything from the snake apparently swallowing its own tail - a symbol of eternal circularity - through the motto ’Quotidie Morior’ (I die daily, I Corinthians XV v31) to the rose at noon are all perfectly legible. The numerals are arranged according to the "anticlockwise convention" (Cf Lansallos) and the hours are undivided.
