The famous Millenium Sundial on Fishpool Way, has a 6.75m stainless steel gnomen - one of the biggest in the country - set in a chapter ring of 16 hour-marking granite blocks. It makes much use of local materials in its structure and landscaping. The 'time' shown by a sundial is specific to its location. It has to be adjusted to make it coincide with Greenwich Mean Time. A plaque near the sundial shows the corrections to be made.
