From my daily Google digest message, I just learned of the existence of topiary sundials. A web search then led me to the example at Ascott House. There's a nice photo of it at http://www.siteandinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Ascott-3-of-14.jpg

The gnomon has a fairly strange shape so I guess that either only the top part or only the bottom part is functional, but even then I can't figure out what it does. Is this some kind of azimuthal dial - maybe even just using the crude approach of 15 degrees per hour?

Cheers,

Steve
