The Priory, Kemerton

On the upper lawn to the west of the house is a horizontal sundial of stone. The hours engraved on it run from IV-VIII divided into halves and quarters. A stylised fleur-de-lys marks noon.The square dial plate is heavily encrusted with lichens. The iron gnomon has an S-shaped supporter, but the dial is misaligned and the gnomon points 40° east of north. The dial is mounted on a square section pedestal with square capital and octagonal base set on a thin circular plinth.
