Field Visit (19 August 1915)
Some 70 yards east of the church is a dial possibly dating from the 17th century (fig. 84 [SC 1126996]). From a moulded plinth, square on plan, rises a pierced pedestal with two pilasters on each face. These have moulded bases, neckings and capitals; above the latter a heavily moulded cornice or shelf swells out to a great projection and is surmounted by a small cubical dial.
