Activities

Field Visit (25 February 1921)

Sundial, Monkton.

The dwelling-house fronting the high road and opening to the old garden of Monkton House has a 17th-century dial corbelled out from the south-west angle. The dial-stone is cubical and has a dial on each of the three exposed faces. The corbel has foliaceous enrichment on the sides. The front bears a sun in glory within a thistle-leaf garland, while the soffit bears a grotesque head.

RCAHMS 1929, visited 25 February 1921.
