hi
Yes I've been finding yet more new British sundials on the internet and compiling a list so hopefully they will get visited and recorded fully in the Register. Below is a simple text listing but a version with photos (~5 Mb) is available from my Google drive at http://bit.ly/2fyVpS4 (47-69) The map with all the dials marked is still available at http://bit.ly/2aXDLq5 (Previous lists with photos are http://bit.ly/2b5p32J http://bit.ly/2c0qs6D & http://bit.ly/2cbDnZF) If you look at the map it will be obvious that there are more than 69 dials - at last count there were 177. I have added dial positions for my next batch straight on to the map, and although i'm 99% confident they are new, the dials from 70-87 havent' been checked by John Foad yet. Also Graham Stapleton has been adding new points sourced from elsewhere on the internet, as far as I can tell from a mixture of geography.org.uk and hunting down anything called "Sundial Cottage". He's up to 90 so far, so that's a total of 177 new dials to visit and record properly for the Register Technical aside: If you want to move from my Google map to a normal Google map both Graham and I have tried wherever possible to create pin positions starting from a location known to Google. That way you get a clickable "Open in Google Maps" in the pop up for each pin and can explore StreetView or get directions etc. In a small proportion of cases we have started from a fresh pin - in these cases the quickest way to get a normal Google Map of the same area is to copy the lat.long from the pop up box and paste it straight into a Google search box. Anyway the new list of dials... The stand out one for me is #51, a horizontal glass dial above a church porch. 47)Llansantffraed Court , Clytha, Llanvihangel Gobion NP7 9BA Border Sundials Armillary Sphere in grounds of Llansantffraed Court 48)Ringmore Road, Teignmouth, TQ14 0AH Small horizontal over-looking the water front 49)The Walled Garden, Harewood House, Leeds, LS17 9LG Typical country house horizontal A “Listed” dial https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1226238 HAREWOOD PARK SE3044 LS17 SE308442 13/84 Sundial in centre of rectangular walled garden near YTV garden GV II Sundial.

Well photographed dial so we know gnomon has gone and been repaired in last few years. Located in eastern edge of grounds according to GeoGraph page 58)Union Wharf, Market Harborough, LE16 7UY Large modern dial. The gnomon is a large plank of wood supported by the figure of an old canal worker. Hour markings on a seat and continued onto the ground. The canal basin was refurbished in 2000, with this sundial chosen by public vote from three choices. The chosen favourite design, by Marjorie and Michael Clements, depicts a stevedore picking up a piece of timber on to his shoulder to stack on the wharf. Its made from a mixture of wood and metal, with inscribed slabs arranged in a L shape on the surrounding area. Colloquially called "Frank the Plank". The basin is much enlarged from its size in working days, when it was about the same width as the warehouse building across the end. (Now an Italian Restaurant.) The statue was erected by members of the Old Union Canals Society. Frank works in numerous ways as a sun dial, see if you can spot them all. 59)St Nicholas Church, Church Lane, Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, WS15 3DD Modern vertical dial on church tower 60)Long Compton, Warwickshire Combined new village cross and sundial.

NW corner of park There are several other pieces public art that might count as a sundial, eg art called "Gnomon" and "Light Pyramid" in the same park , but I dont’ think they have any time telling ability. http://www.theparkstrust.com/downloads/art-trail.pdf 66)Stockgrove Park, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 0BB Human Analemmatic 67)Babington House, Green Hill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN Vertical dial on old (listed) house http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/X323.htm 68)Angel Spice Restaurant, 2-4 High St, Stilton PE7 3RA Vertical (D) almost (S) on a wall that declines few degrees N of East!
