This is a very unusual horizontal plate sundial which probably came from either the Low Countries (Holland etc.) or France. It was made in 1610 by Labiche. It is made from slate and would have been sited outside, mounted at a tilt for the correct angle for the latitude. The gnomon is now broken off and would have been used for telling the time both during the day and at night. More information on this sundial |
