Dial in Lancashire

This circular dial is eroded almost to illegibility, and the gnomon has been ripped off. All that we can now see are the Roman hour numerals, read from outside, IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, with a noon gap for the missing gnomon. It is supported on a square fluted Doric pier, 1220 high, with base and capital, standing near the south door of the church. Projecting from one side, carved from the same piece of stone, is a square moulded panel with ’IH RP / IB TK / 1708’ inscribed in raised letters, possibly the initials of the Vicar and Churchwardens of the time.
