G-no-mon!

G-no-mon!

Perhaps appropriate given the summer we've just enjoyed ... the sundial on the wall of St Mary's church, missing its gnomon.
The inscriptions read:
[i]Solem quis dicere falsum audeat[/i]
(Who dares call the sun false?)
and
[i]Tempus edax rerum[/i]
(Time devours all things).
A Classic 18th century design and layout; Time, decay and vandals wait for no man. Do you know just how old it is?
 
Is that what the pointy thing is called, a gnomon?! I think I ll just stick with pointy thing next time sundials come up in conversation! laugh#
