A sundial on the south wall of St Michael's church, Whichford.
"On the South wall of the clerestory is a vertical stone dial which declines 10? East. It shows VI – V in half hours and possibly quarters by a thin hatched border. Uses XII and IIII. Numerals read from below. The date, 1784, is in centre at top. Hour lines very faint now and only a few can be discerned. They originate from a large semicircle round the root. Doubly supported thick strip finger ended gnomon with one straight and one curly supporter. The dial, which is protected by a lead capping, measures about 500mm square."
