Architecture Notes

NT17SW 36.07 1115 7354

Collection item WL890/8 was previously linked to NT17SW 38, which is a different sundial, of the lectern type (see NT17SW 38). (AC 7 March 2004).

The sundial in the photograph WL 890/8 was located at approximately NT1115 7354 at the time of the photograph. Although current and historic OS maps depict two sundials in the walled garden, there is no desk-based evidence available to prove that this sundial was one of those. The sundial to the south of the walled garden is the lectern sundial mentioned above (NT17SW 38).
