Dial in Berkshire

The dial is by a path to the south east of the church. It stands on a pedestal that may have been from a former font according to a leaflet in the church. The dial itself has some inaccuracies - the 6am and 6pm lines are not collinear. The sturdy gnomon is at about 45 degrees, whereas it should be 51 degrees. Uses hour numerals VI - XII - IIII - VI only, with a noon gap and read from the inside, divided to 15 and 30 minutes.
