St Wendreda Church, March

The dial is on the south side of the south-west buttress of the tower. The dial stone is canted out on the left (west) side, and a lead flashing weather protection drip cover is fitted above. Upright Roman numerals are engraved and painted: VI - XII - IIII - VI. The hour lines run to a small semicircle around gnomon root containing the date ’1813’. There are half and quarter hour divisions. The metal rod gnomon has a single rod supporter that is fixed to the dial face by a two pronged, right-angled, fork.
