Sundial - St Peter - Wymondham, Leicestershire - Sundials on Waymarking.com

This medieval churchyard cross at St Peter's, Wymondham, has been converted into a sundial.

"The churchyard cross in St Peter's churchyard represents a good example of a medieval standing cross marking a graveyard. Situated immediately south of the nave it is believed to stand in or near its original position. Limited activity in the area immediately surrounding the cross indicates that archaeological deposits relating to the monument's construction in this location will survive intact. The cross has not been significantly restored and through subsequent adaptation into a sundial has continued in use as a public monument and amenity from medieval times to the present day."
