To me it looks like a simple sundial with the interesting motto "FLOREATT ECCLESIA" that should be Floreat Ecclesia, maybe the "Floreat Ecclesia Anglicana". I do not see references to the Dominical Letters or Golden Number in a sundial like this in which, moreover, the triangular gnomon seems to be not compliant with the style of sundial and may have been added later. Best wishes, Nicola Severino
----Messaggio originale---- Da: [email protected] Data: 27/11/2013 16.05 A: "Sundial List"<[email protected]> Ogg: Dominical Letter The dial at Marton-cum-Grafton in North Yorkshire has a gnomon engraved with ‘C’ and ‘xiv’, being the Sunday or Dominical Letter, and the Golden Number, for the year of its restoration. I *think* that translates to 1875 (given that the dial is 19th century). Can anyone confirm this? And more interestingly, does anyone have a calculator to show candidate years, given the Sunday Letter and Golden Number? Many thanks for any help, John
