This bronze armillary sphere comes from the workshop of David Harber and is tailor-made for its position here. It was commissioned by Mrs Joan F. Mackenzie for the Devon County Ladies’ Golf Association’s Centenary 1900-2000. It shows the hours VI-VI divided into halves and quarters.One motto on the horizon band is ’Taking Pleasure in the Passing of Time’ while a second reads ’Cursum Peregi’ (I have run my course). There are also eight compass points together with latitude and longitude. The dial also acts as a topograph with distances in nautical miles to eight other places in Devon being engraved on the horizon band. The diameter of the dial is 800mm and it stands on a stone plinth 800mm high.
