St Andrew’s Parish Church, Norton nr Presteigne

An unusual metal vertical memorial dial, inscribed ’Gilbert Drage caused this dial to be made to Christ and St Andrew in the days of George VI and his consort Quenn Elizabeth’. The vicar’s name is shown, and the time given to 15 mins by sun rays. Some gilding remains. The dial is between the two westernmost buttresses on the south wall.
