St Laurence’s Churchyard, Alton

Reported in 2000 as missing believed stolen ’some years ago’. Shows 4am to 8pm in 30, 15, 10 and 5 min intervals. Ornamental bulbous pedestal 1190h with square top partly broken. Graveyard (not churchyard) contains grave of (sweet) Fanny Adams and a tapering square stone headstone 900-ish high with a recess in the top about 150 across which may have housed a dial. NB: (629/220 refers to plinth only). Might the maker be Dollond?
