Unusual placement across the keystones under the eaves of the porch. Hour lines and numerals incised into stone but numerals are not in line with the hourlines. Sheet metal triangular gnomon is rusty but complete and even has signs of a nodus half way down its length. Shows 6am (just!) to 5pm in hours. Cross for noon. Possible repair at stone join alongside the gnomon? Dial shaded by a yew tree.
St Mary’s Church (2), Purton, Wiltshire
