A sundial cupola is a terrific idea, I'm all in favor of it. I hope you not talking about stained glass sundials, but the more common type of external sundial. If I had a cupola on my house, there is no question I would do the same thing. I love it.

Hi John & all,
Only after I saw the cupolas in your links, I understood that these were not
dome-shaped, but square. I found some examples in the Netherlands, which I
put temporarily on my website, at: www.fransmaes.nl/sundials/cupola.htm .
You surely will show us the results of your enterprise?
There is a modern (1990s?) cupola with a South sundial on it at South
Warnborough, in Hampshire. I believe the owner originally intended to
put a clock in as well but am not sure whether he ever did. I can think
of a few other similar arrangements around the country - for example I

Hello David:
Have you thought about offering a more complete
product/service to non-dialists and the general public by supplying both the
