St Mary Magdalene., Alfrick

The dial is made from four upright oak boards, framed, carved and gilded. Across the top is the motto ’On this moment hangs eternity’. At the lower left and right of the plate ’? ART.. ALLIES 1828’ and ’A. E. ALLIES 1928 [?1926?]’. These are probably the churchwardens of the time. Secured by four bolts to shingled tower. Upright numerals VI - XII - IIII - VI with hour lines to small semicircle around gnomon root. The dial measures about 750mm square.
