Stone sundial set into South wall of church. The time from 6am to 6pm is shown using Arabic numerals. Two lines drawn above the gnomon give a pedimented effect to the dial, with part of the date 15xx also visible above the gnomon origin. The modern gnomon is fitted with a single bolt holding a brass strip at the appropriate angle. The dialplate is badly cracked from around the gnomon root.
