Sundial - St Denys - Cold Ashby, Northamptonshire - Sundials on Waymarking.com

On the south wall is a sundial which is dated 1703. On the same wall is a scratch dial between the two windows which could well date back to the 13th century - although it is difficult to spot.

"The Church of St. Denys, Cold Ashby is listed grade 2 and is a modest stone church set on high ground to the south of the present village centre. It has a square west tower added in the 15th century with embattled parapet and corner pinnacles. The existing building is reckoned to date from the 12th or 14th centuries and was restored in about 1840. The earliest mention of the Church comes in the reign of Stephen 1135 - 1154, when St Denys was given to Daventry Priory by Hugh Poer. The register of incumbents dates back to 1258, earlier names may occur in the register of Daventry Priory. The south porch is interesting and reputed to date from circa 1696. The vestry was added in 1881. The north door opening is probably 19th century as is the organ gallery. Stained glass is 19th and 20th century in a mixture of clear and coloured glass set within stone surrounds of various patterns from square headed timber to perpendicular style. Two of these are interesting in that they depict views of the church itself."
