What you see here can hardly be described as a sundial although at first glance it looks like one. It has a motto which reads: "Let others tell of storms and showers, I only count your sunny hours" and is arranged in a circle around the outer edge. There are16 compass points but no hour lines or numerals. The gnomon angle is incorrect for this latitude and it is misaligned by 180 degrees. No sign of the pillar dial reported by Mrs Gatty (The Book of Sundials) can be found in the churchyard today. The plate measures 267mm in diameter.
