Hello Stained Glass and Sundial people:

We've made real good progress in identifying the locations of the lost (to
us) English stained glass sundials.  There is only one known English dial
left for us to locate. Hans Behrendt called it "The Highworth Wiltshire
Dial".  Since he made a movie of it at its original location in the 1980s,
it's probably still there.

All we know is that it was made in 1641 and that it's in some unknown
building in Highworth Wiltshire England.  You can see our poor photograph
that I copied from Behrendt's videotape if you go to the SGS website Image

and scroll way down to Dial 149 in the left column.

Is this SG window in the British Sundial Society registry?  Has anybody
heard of it or knows where it is located?

John

p.s. there are still a couple of other unlocated and unidentified English
stained glass dials that were on the last Behrendt video, but of the twenty
unidentified dials there, we can't tell which ones are English until we
translate the videotape.  Hopefully we'll be able to identify those soon.
You can see these poor photos of the unidentified dials at:

according to Behrendt's video index, these are a mixture of German, Swiss,
English and American sundials, but we don't know which are which!  (We think
though that all those table-top ones with the heraldic shields are German)
