This is an old dial which was restored as a memorial and the inscription reads: ’This ancient sundial is restored in loving memory of Howard Spring’. It shows the hours from 4am to 8pm divided down to 5 minute intervals. There is an Equation of Time scale with indications of Watch Faster/Slower and an eight point compass rose in the centre. Spring’s most famous novel is probably ’Fame is the Spur’. In the churchyard there is the tallest cross in Cornwall.
