A Study Of The Time Markers Of Medieval Churches, Containing Descriptions, Photographs, Diagrams And Analysis Of Dials, Chiefly In Hampshire
A meticulous study of the shallowly incised sundials—often called mass clocks—carved into medieval church walls across Hampshire and neighboring areas, combining detailed descriptions, photographs, measured diagrams and analytical discussion. The volume catalogues surviving examples, records their forms, dimensions and locations, interprets stylistic variants and probable dating, and considers their liturgical role in marking canonical hours. It also addresses weathering and restoration, offers typologies and comparative analysis, and situates these time-markers within the architecture and ecclesiastical history of the period.
