St Nicholas’ Church, Abbotsbury

Set in the parapet of the south wall of the south aisle. Very weathered, with no lines visible other than a small arc one third of the way down from the gnomon root, with faint hour lines to it, possibly divided to quarter hours outside the arc. Note the ornate gnomon support. More information requested.
