Dial in Yorkshire (W)

Dial removed from an old chapel and re-erected in its present location in 1902. The top corners are decorated with fan moulding and in the centre top is an ellipse with the signs of the Zodiac. Immediately below is ’Ab hoc momento / Pendet Aeternitas’. Across the bottom is the date ’MDCCCXXXIV’. Upright numerals VI - XII - IV - V, with hour lines to a semicircle around the gnomon root, half and quarter hour marks inside the chapter ring and 5-minute marks outside. Substantial bronze gnomon with ’S’ and other curlicue supports. The dial is backed by a similar stone giving its provenance, and the pair stand on a square pedestal of Yorkshire stone. Ref Mrs Gatty, 1900, Motto 14, ’on a chapel at Little London, near Rawdon’.
