Dial in Cornwall

A verse around the pedestal reads: "High over busy Truro town, Of Mary’s church this topmost crown, Has borne through thrice a century’s space, The Holy rood of Christ’s dear grace, Now in his Escop’s garden ground, As sunlit hours go circling round, This shadowed cross shall mark and bless, My days of leisured quietness". The dial is made from the top of the spire of St Mary’s Church and stands on a granite pedestal 970h, with an octagonal top.
