Sorry - Currently out of stock Sundial Background Information The sundial is the oldest known device for measuring time. The concept of the sundial is based on the fact that the shadow of an object will move from one side to the other as the sun moves from East to West during the course of the day. Sundials are thought to have been used as early as 2000BC. The sundial consists of the plane (dial face) and the gnomon (style). The dial face is usually divided into 12 equal segments i.e. hours and then sometimes divided into half hours and quarter hours. The gnomon is a flat piece of metal set in the centre of the dial. This points towards the North pole in the Northern Hemisphere and towards the south pole in the Southern Hemisphere. For those that want an a real, natural stone sundial, this is the one for you. The faces of the sundial pedestal have a natural stone effect making every sundial totally unique to you. Due to the properties of the stone, these sundials will age beautifully compared to their concrete counterparts. Sizes vary and our sundials will be approximately be to the sizes shown but will depend on what nature deals us!! The brass sundials used are shown in the 'Dials Only' page, under 'Sundials'.
