St Mary the Virgin Church, Old Leake

The dial appears to be laid out on a metal sheet in a substantial carved arched stone surround. The whole is mounted above the peak of the entrance to the south porch. Some markings remain but only faintly. Upright Roman numerals for 6am to 6pm with hour lines and half and quarter hour divisions. Radial lines above the gnomon origin may represent sun-rays. Iron strip gnomon with single horizontal support.
