DERBYSHIRE SUNDIALS HOME PAGE
thumbnail Site Guide:-
This site is devoted to showing public sundials that may be seen in towns and villages of the English county of Derbyshire.
Most of them are on churches or in churchyards, although there are a few exceptions.

    The navigation bar to the left takes you to pages of public sundials, and to the right is a picture of possibly Derbyshire's most famous sundial mounted on the wall of Eyam Parish Church.

 Vertical Sundial at New Mills:- New Mills
    A new sundial dedicated to Sir Martin Doughty was unveiled on New Mills town hall on the 11th of October 2009.

Sir Martin Doughty was the father of modern conservation and founding chair of the Natural England organisation, the government's adviser on the natural environment.
He died on the 4th of March 2009, and would have had his 60th birthday on the day the sundial was revealed to the throng of walkers and fell runners who had gathered to celebrate his life.
