These Georgian Sundials were erected by William Hutton who lived in the property. The East Sundial is dated 1720 and only shows the time until twelve noon. The Latin inscription reads" As is the hour, so is life". The South Sundial is dated 1721 and shows the time for most of the daylight hours. The Sundials were restored in 1998 by Alan Smith of Worsley, Greater Manchester.
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
