The Dale, Chale
This unusual sundial is in the front garden of The Dale, a white painted cottage on the east side of the street.
This is the simplest of armillary spheres with just two rings (the equator and the meridian) and an axis. It is supported on four iron legs.
The entire instrument is decorated with a trailing creeper made of iron or steel and rusted to the same colour as the dial itself.
