Believed to have been made by William Shaw of Eyam in 1775, the sundial is the most elaborate of all the sundials in Derbyshire. It shows the time in half-hours, the months and signs of the zodiac, longitude degrees and local times of several cities around the world. The translations of the mottoes are,'Take to thyself a wise mind' and on the corbels 'Like a shadow, so passes life'. It is situated over the priest's door at Eyam's Church
