Hi David, Patrick et al, The Roman dial at Hever Castle mentioned by Patrick is described by Ward & Vaughan in Antiquarian Horology 12(3), 307-12, Autumn 1980 (together with other dials at Hever). They recount that the dial was "probably brought to Hever by Lord Astor's father c.1920 from his house near Sorrento, though the dial appears to be made for Sicily, lat 37 N". Thus it is rather a stretch to call it an English dial! The London Science Museum have a cast. Regards, John -----------------------------------
