St Andrew’s Church, Alwalton

The dial is set into stonework high on the South wall and is canted out on the right hand (east) side as the wall is not facing due south. The black-painted Roman numerals are upright, from VI to VI with ’+’ for noon and IIII for four. The full length hour lines run from a square below the gnomon root with date inscribed 1735. The long rod gnomon is supported by two straight struts set in the face of the dial.
