Dial in Shropshire

Initials ’WG’ are prominent suggesting they are not the maker. Rare ornate gnomon supporter lies across dial at North end of gnomon. Dial plate partly prised from capital which is itself broken. Shows 4am to 8pm in hours. Half hours marked by dots between numerals. No split noon line. IIII used. Engraving on the gnomon & supporter indicates the metal came from re-used brass. The dial is to the south of the church, mounted on square shaft set on tapered octagonal stone which in turn is mounted on an old octagonal two step plinth.
