Hey Dave, look at this email! This guy actually lives in
Henry Gyles' house!
According to him we have to make some changes to Dial
5.
1. change name to: The Gray's Court Dial
2. Maker: attributed to Henry Gyles (J.T.Brighton,
'Henry Gyles, Virtuoso and Glasspainter of York 1645 -1709').
3. Original Location: Gray's Court at St John's College (now
the University College of Ripon and York St John, York England)
4. Present Location: J.T.Brighton suggests it is not
in its original location and was designed for someplace
else.
5. After you change the Dial 5 text, we'll decide how we will
group it together with the other Gyles dials of the late 1600's.

Subject: Dial 5 - stained glass sundials page Hello - I have just found your excellent page on stained glass sundials - in which I am particularly interested as I live in the former house of Henry Gyles. I thought I'd let you know that Dial 5, listed as maker unknown, is attributed to Henry Gyles (J.T.Brighton, 'Henry Gyles, Virtuoso and Glasspainter of York 1645 -1709). He also suggests it is not its original location. I suspect one would need a technical expert from the British Sundial society to work out the original latitude to find where it might be from! Regards, Chris Pearson (Ms) P.S. Grey Court is actually spelt 'Gray's Court' and the College was St John's College, and is now the University College of Ripon and York St John. I'm not sure if Gray's Court is still part of their campus.
