Description: | Sundial comprising a large triangular bronze gnomon set in a stone and marble circle, part of which projects into a shallow boating pool. The gnomon has three struts. The upright one and the horizontal one which forms the base to the triangle, have a straight outer edge and a curved inner one. The sloping diagonal has straight edges. The gnomon stands on the Prime Meridian which is marked by a bronze strip running from it northwards to the edge of the circle. It is possible to walk through the gnomon and across the dial. The dial comprises a large circle of stone slabs with the hours incised round the edge in Roman numerals, and an inner circle of small square stone paviours. This has mottled red and black marble inset into it showing pointed rays in the pattern of the points of the compass. | Subjects: | Other | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Designer: Daniel, Christopher St J.H. | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6982... | Go to resource |
