The sundial is also pictured on page 25 of Mike Cowham’s excellent Sundials of
the British Isles.

Hi Bob et al,
Thanks for that - good to know the house is up for sale and that the sundial is
a selling feature. I believe that the dial is the one which can be seen from
the street and was described by Harriet James and me in:
H. James & J. Davis: ‘A close look at a Salisbury dial’, BSS Bulletin, 17(iii),
pp.101-3, (September 2005).
Regards,
John

A historic house in Salisbury , England where King Charles II stayed is for
sale on the public market for the first time in 600 years.
Excerpt:
Another terraced area has an 18th-century blue-and-gold sundial on the exterior
wall that features a quote from “Macbeth”: “Life is but a walking shadow.”
