The tall column topped by a sundial is of 16th century date and is said to have been given by Edmund Bunny, rector of this parish from 1575 to 1603. The original inscription, now badly eroded, was recorded in 1866 as saying “SUIS RATIONIBUS CONDUCENDIS”. However the meaning of this is obscure and so it may have already been badly eroded and possibly only these words belonging to a longer inscription had survived. Due to severe deterioration the sundial was completely restored in 2019.
