St Andrew’s Church, Colyton

There is a two-storey porch here and near the top of it a well made dial plate with integral raised border. There is an inscription at the top with a set of initials each side and possibly a central motif but it is impossible to decipher. It is a declining dial showing upright numerals VII - XI - [further numerals not legible]. Full length hour and half-hour lines to semicircle around gnomon root, the hour lines broadened at the inner end - described by Mrs Crowley as ’ deep-cut sun rays’. Scalloped gnomon under-edge. It belongs to the 18th century and measures about 600mmw x 650mmh.
