A scratch sundial on a south facing buttress of St Mary's church, Broughton Astley.
"The church consists of chancel, a nave and north aisle of of almost equal dimensions, and a massive west tower and spire. It is built of stone with rubble walls and dressed stone quions (cornerstones). A lead roof was replaced in 1666, generally with Swithland slates, although Westmorland slate has also been used. This was repaired extensively in 1989."
