All Saints’ Church, East Garston

A large vertical south-facing dial on the gable end of the south transept of the church. Some hour lines can be seen, but no numerals are visible. Apparently it showed 6am to 6pm in hours. Flat strip gnomon with part-scroll support. The dial is secured to the flint & brick wall by modern bolts at each corner and by a stone lintel itself supported by a central corbel on which is a carved head. The dial is canted eastwards from the wall in order to face direct South.
