Hello all I'm collecting all sundials existing in my area, Touraine (centre of France) and I am very surprised by the large number of mass dial I have found. At this time, about 100 mass dials (sometime 7 or 8 on the same church) in a 100 km diameter area around Tours, and I'm sure to find much many more. There are about 350 churches in Touraine and I have check only 100, so still I have a big job !!! à bientôt François
