Circular Saxon-style but probably Norman period mass dial.
The dial is now covered by the porch. It is circular with a rope pattern round the outside. There are six lines and a hole for a horizontal gnomon.
Authorities differ as to the age of the dial and of the church which seems to be late twelfth century.
The church is at the south end of the village. It is easy to miss it.
