St Leonard’s Church, Middleton

A well chosen motto, "Lose no time", tops this vertical direct south-facing dial, which is set high up on the south-east corner of St Leonard’s Church not far from the busy centre of Middleton. The wooden dialplate shows times from 6.00 am to 5.00 pm in Roman numerals, with a singly supported iron gnomon. The dial is in good condition and is believed to date from 1880.
