St Mary the Virgin’s Church, Muker

The dial declining 12 degrees West is found over the South door. It has the date, longitude and the initials ’YL’ all arranged close to gnomon root. Uses XII and IV. No half hour lines on body of dial plate however. Simple rod gnomon and single straight supporter. Longitude of 2d 8m is stated though correction for it is not provided. The dial is a replacement of an earlier one and the Initials YL refer to Yvonne Loxley to whose memory the dial was given by a Tim Marshall of Bucks. The EoT in the form of a table is on display within the church.
