Streatham Park Cemetery, Merton

A dial cube on a six-sided stone column, in the Luff Gardens close to the main cemetery buildings. Only one of the original four dial plates remains, the east facing one. The gnomon has a knife-edge style with two scrolled supports. The dial plate is marked with Arabic hour numerals for 4am to 9 or 10am, divided to 30 and 15 minute intervals by chequers in the chapter ring. The top edge is inscribed ’You may waste me but cannot stop me’.
