Only the right half of this slate dial remains on a stair turret to the West of the porch but the parish seem keen to retain it as it is secured by clamps at the broken edge. The churchwardens’ accounts for 1783 include entries showing that £1-11-6d was paid to Mr Peagam for providing the dial and 3/6d for putting it in place.His name could also be spelled Peagum which explains the fragmentary inscription at the top. The dial show only 1pm to 6pm in half and quarter hours. It would originally have been 600mm square.
