St George’s Theatre, Great Yarmouth

This striking dial is mounted on curved brickwork at roof level high above a main door facing south west. It is painted light brick red on a black or dark blue base, with all furniture gilded. The gnomon springs from a flaming sun. Hours are VIII - XII - IIII - VII, divided to half and quarter hours. The building was originally a church, consecrated in 1715 and converted to a theatre in 1972/3. In 2009 the dial was held inside the building, and it was restored in 2010. The original date is not known.
