Dial in Hereford & Worcester

In the churchyard to the NW of the church is a stone horizontal dial with the remains of an iron gnomon. It is a memorial dial and the 350mm square stone is mostly filled up by the inscription, "O’er every hour / that’s brightest / a shadow creeps / and he whose laugh / is lightest / full often weeps / IPT (?) 1921." Small Roman hour numerals are set round a surrounding circle, tightly inscribed in the square stone. The dial is mounted on a square section cast bulbous column with a square base.
