A scratch dial above the south chancel door of St Anne's church, Epwell.
'The main structure of the church comprises of a nave, chancel, tower, and aisle, which appear to date from the 13th century, but a number of alterations took place in the 14th century, wnen an aumbry and piscina, were inserted in the walls of the chancel. Repairs to the chancel were also undertaken in 1425–6.
In 1615–16 the chancel was again repaired and in 1674 was said to be 'leaded over' and in good condition. By 1755, however, the whole church was greatly in need of attention: the archdeacon ordered the outside walls to be pointed, the inside south wall to be repaired, the chancel roof to be 'boarded or ceiled', a new door to be provided for the south entrance,'
