Full Description
[SK 14127115] St. Michael's Church. (4)
There is a scratch dial on the centre buttress of the south aisle. It is much weathered and all that remains is the cemented-up stylehole and portions of four lines to the right, or east. It is 57" high and 4" from stylehole to end of lines. The stone on which this dial is cut is flaking vertically and it is possible that the dial will disappear altogether in a comparatively short time. (2)
