Two scratch sundials on the south wall of St Peter's church, Stoke Lyne. One is cut into the right hand side of the romanesque arch of the south chancel door, the other on the wall on the east side of the tower.
"South chancel doorway -
Restored. Jambstones plain. Square impost with a hollow chamfer below a quirk. Arch with plain radial voussoirs, varying in width and stone type, texture and colour. It looks from the soffit view as if pale stones and rust-brown ironstone may have alternated originally, but most or all may have been white-washed at some stage.
Hood of five dressed stones, the centre one more newly replaced, forming a narrow arch extending to the imposts on both sides. The stones are edged on both sides by a row of hollow semicircles or scallops, those on the inner side forming a chamfer, and those on the outer side being more worn."
