This sundial, dated 1809, is mounted high on the south face of the church. St Peter's is an unusual looking, Grade I Listed ( http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-55863-church-of-st-peter-congleton ) church. Originally built in the 14th century as a timber framed building it was rebuilt in the mid-18th century when it was found to be decaying. The lower part of the original tower was retained while the main body was built in brick with stone facings ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Peter%27s_Church,_Congleton ).
