Dist:0.2km<br/>There is an inscribed sundial to right of door. Sundials or sun clocks are considered to be the oldest known device for the measurement of time and one of the most ancient scientific instruments. The oldest known true sundial was built around 1500BC in Egypt. Shaped like a letter 'L' the length of the shadow cast by the vertical leg along the horizontal leg indicated the time. The Romans perfected the horizontal sundial we know today and invented portable travelling versions.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A closer look at the roundel of the [[1142626]], showing location and grid reference. Unfortunately, for this one the wrong digits of both the easting and northing have been selected, giving this little resemblance to the figure you would get by looking at the map.
