There is a moderate sized brass South facing sundial about 25 feet up at
the top of a stair turret at Axbridge church, Somerset. I've always
wondered how it was to be read - unless you could climb out onto the
roof and peer over the edge. But it wouldn't be much use for setting the
clock, either.
Unless of course, following Mike Shaw's suggestion, horses were MUCH,
MUCH bigger at the start of the 19th century - or perhaps the then
Squire had a personal elephant with a really spectacular howdah? ;-)
