Victorian sundial in Dane John Gardens, Canterbury. Sculpted by Canterbury native Henry Weekes RA in 1840. On the pillar are carved classical figures of the seasons.
The current statue we see today, created by Tim Lees in 1999, replaced Weekes's original which is displayed in the City Museum.
Keep an eye out for it in Dane John Gardens. But if you're hoping to tell the time you might want to bring a step ladder as the sundial plate is around 6ft off the ground!
