Abstract/Summary
‘Sundials were the commonest means of telling the time until the introduction of mechanical clocks. From the Norman Conquest until about 1550, sundials were designed to measure ‘seasonal hours’ which varied in length depending on the time of year. The first part of this paper discusses the history and function of such dials. The second part is a catalogue, based on a survey undertaken in 1996-7, of all known medieval sundials in Dorset.’
