Present Location
Lost, or no longer visible. The east end of the church was pulled down and rebuilt when the church was restored in 1908 (Page, W. 1923, 300).
Evidence for Discovery
Identified by Collingwood (1907) with the piece published by Stephens (1894, 15), i.e. Thornaby 1. But Collingwood, who saw the stone in 1904, recorded it as being built in outside, 'beneath the east window' (1907, 402; cf. Collingwood 1912, 127), rather than at the east end of the south wall, and he thought the sundial had weathered away. Collingwood'subsequently noted that the architect, C. Hodgson Fowler, 'at the recent restoration found it illegible' (1912, 127). (See the discussion by David Parsons above.)
