Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

St Ives Museum, St Ives

Among the museum’s exhibits is a brass horizontal dial bearing the date 1630.It is probably not a genuine date since the dial is almost certainly a replica of an earlier dial (at Wigmore Grange) made by Pearson Page who were active in the first half of the 20th century. It carries two mottoes: ’The houre passes’ and ’Long Liffe ye King Charles’. The gnomon has the word ’Angel’ engraved on its side.
