St John the Baptist’s Church., Letton

This vertical South stone dial can be seen on the South transept. From Its spalling dial plate we can tell that it showed the undivided hours VI - VI though only the numerals X, II and III are now visible. No noon line is visible and space at the top suggests that there may have been the initials of a churchwarden. A partial date reads 176x. The surviving numerals give the impression of standing out in relief, possibly because they were once painted. The iron gnomon survives. The dial measures about 610mm square.
