Sundial - Ripon Cathedral

On my visit to the small city of Ripon in North Yorkshire recently I took some photographs of things and places that took my interest.

This photo shows a sundial on a wall of Ripon cathedral. It looks at first sight to be quite modern, but is actually earlier than I thought. This mural sundial with Roman numerals marking the hours is from the late 17th or the early 18th century. The sundial shows sign of restoration.

Should you ever visit Ripon I would recommend a viewing of the 12th century Leper Chapel.
