Message text written by Frank Evans >The wrong way round buildings remind me of the sundial still to be seen on a church in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The dial had been removed, I think in the last century, from a church in England and set up, in a spirit of hope, in Cape Province.<
Hi Frank, Interesting you mention the dial at Stellenbosch. You might like to know that this dial is recorded in the Register - since it emanated from the UK. It is SRNO 4117 and Carolyn Martin and (I think) Andrew James did some research. Dial is from St Mary's Alverstoke, Hants which was reconstructed in 1885 at which time the dial was removed by J Philip Legg, (then Rector of Stellenbosch) in remembrance of his parents who are buried in Alverstoke. It is now in the wall of the SA church. Hampshire records show it originally cost £4 15s 0d. I think it is mounted inside the church but am not sure.
