Sundial

Flickr Lounge ~ Interesting

 

On the south wall of Eyam church is a remarkable sundial, built by William Shaw and dated 1775. On a sunny day it not only shows the time quite accurately in half hours, but it also indicates the time in places worldwide.

 

Eyam (pronounced Ee'm) is known as the Plague Village. For information on its very interesting history see here.
