History

Probably early C19 sundial but perhaps repositioned when the church was rebuilt, the railings are also C19.

Exterior

Stone baluster on a square plinth, The baluster is turned and moulded at the base and then decreases to an octagonal shaft which has a moulded cap. This carries the brass sundial which is missing the gnomon. The whole stands on two low square steps and is surrounded by wrought iron spike railings with cast vases on the corner standards.
