A scratch sundial on the south transept of St John the Baptist church, Grimston.
"The church now consists simply of nave and chancel with south transept, west tower and south porch. The north transept collapsed in around 1740 and was not rebuilt.
It is built largely in the local ironstone, and the present building dates essentially from the early 13th century, with rebuilding around 1400. Major restoration followed during 1867-8. Traces of an earlier, Saxon or Norman, building can however be seen in the north wall of the nave, and the font dates from this period too."
