I think I remember hearing that one of the two horizontal dials at
Erddig (near Wrexham, North Wales - the sundial nearer the house) was
loose on its pedestal and that members of the Yorke family rotated it
twice yearly during the twentieth century to allow for Summer Time. Can
anyone confirm this?
Chris,
I did a fairly extensive analysis of The Housewife's Trick in "Herbert's
Correction", The Compendium, June 1998, 5(2):24-27.
