Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
Located to the south of the W end of the church, approximately 5 metres from the corner of the Vestry.
Exterior
A monolithic stone sundial, approximately 1m high, the square shaft with stopped chamfered angles, carrying a brass plate by Samuel Roberts of Llanvair, dated 1754 with a later gnomon, and giving the latitude of 52deg 35' N.
Reason for designation
Included as an interesting locally made dial plate of the C18, unusual in bearing the latitude for which it is presumably set.
