Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

’Fulmerston Almshouses’, Thetford

Stone dial plate set into the end wall of the almshouses, which were founded in 1610. Some hour lines remain but no other markings. The stubs of two iron gnomon supporters are still visible. The dial has a large stone to each side, two below and one above. The lower right stone carries some lettering but it is indecipherable.
