St Senwyr’s Church, Llansannor

The dial is carved on two separate stones set into the rough stone gable above the south porch. The upper stone is broad arch-headed with the motto ’Sic Transit Gloria Mundi’ and the inscription ’T Truman Fecit Mar 10 1741’. The lower stone has the dial face with upright numerals VI - XII - IV - VI, and hour lines to a semicircle around the root of the open triangular sheet gnomon, and short half-hour lines. It is delineated for a small declination to the west of south, with the substyle lying at about 12:08pm. The dial is a replica of the much weathered original carved in 1741, which is preserved within the church. The antiquarian Thomas Truman died in 1786.
