Dolphin House, Tresco

This dial is on the east facing wall of the property, now a guest house, about 2500 above ground level. Dolphin House is a Grade II Listed Building. It was built in 1799 as the clergy residence, and the dial is inscribed ’D. E. 1800 MA’. It is the only dial in the Isles of Scilly that we currently have a record of. More details and photographs requested.
