the Father Time Weathervane shown in this listing is on the roof of a tower on private property, so the co-ords were taken in the Churchyard of Caldicot Parish Church.
"Father Time is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (which represents time's constant one-way movement, and more generally and abstractly, entropy). This image derives from several sources, including the Grim Reaper and Chronos: Greek God of Time.
Father Time is an established symbol in numerous cultures, and appears in a variety of art and media. In some cases, he appears specifically as old Father Time, while in other cases he may have another name (such as Saturn) but the character demonstrates the attributes which Father Time has acquired over the centuries."
