Sundial - St Andrew's church - Great Rollright, Oxfordshire - Sundials on Waymarking.com

The two storey porch has an outer arch of two chamfered orders below an ogee lancet, and has a sundial on the gable plus eroded corner pinnacles.

"Rectangular vertical south-facing dial over the porch.

The dial plate is a square stone slab with a rounded top edge, held by iron clamps, canted to the right so as to face due south. It has full length hour lines and half hour marks. The large upright Roman numerals use a Latin cross for noon and IIII at 4pm. Any engraving above the dial is now indistinct.
The simple strip gnomon has a single straight supporter. The nick out of the top edge appears not to be a nodus – merely damage more likely.

Church notes indicate ‘The accurate sundial, dated 1658, probably commemorates the 60th year in office of John Goodwin, who was rector from 1598 (when he was 26) to 1667!’. The dial is noted in Mee’s ‘King’s England’ series."
