Dial in Cornwall

The dial is in the SW corner of churchyard, to left of gate as you enter. Compass points and compass rose. Numerals are viewed from outside and include IIII. It stands on a plain cylindrical granite pillar estd 1000 high. Burge claims the decoration is unusual: zig-zag lines with a rather ’Moorish’ look, and a compass rose comprised of arcs showing the cardinal points subordinate to the others. An eight-petalled flower appears in the centre. The gnomon is missing.
