St Peter's Church: The restored sundial
The sundial on the south side of the tower (it would be of little use on any other side, of course) is only visible from the churchyard, but is nevertheless important to the village.

Dating from 1824 it was restored in 2013 as a memorial to the late churchwarden, Mr Grenfell.

To see it before restoration, see TF0230 : Sundial, St Peter's church, Lenton
