Seen from the north-west corner of the churchyard. The Oxfordshire volume of Sherwood and Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England' has this to say: 'A C17 GATEWAY with a broken pediment enclosing a stone prism on a column. It may once have served as a sundial'. I would add that the gateway has been blocked, and that the 'prism' seems to be a fourteen-sided solid.
