Fosse Sundial in Stone

The Fosse Sundial in Stone brings classical character to any garden. Its baluster pedestal and solid brass dial plate create a striking focal point that works as both a sundial and a bird bath.

Standing 73cm tall, the Fosse features a turned baluster column in natural cast stone. The proportions draw the eye upward to the generous 480mm-diameter bowl. At its centre sits a solid brass sundial plate with an ornate engraved pattern. The gnomon casts a shadow across the dial face to mark the hours.

The shallow bowl serves a dual purpose. Fill it with water and it becomes a drinking and bathing spot for wild birds. This makes the Fosse a practical addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. The stone finish weathers naturally over time, developing a patina that blends with established planting.

Each Fosse Sundial is handcrafted from quality cast stone. The frost-proof construction means it stays outdoors all year without cracking or flaking. At 51.5kg, the solid weight keeps it stable even in exposed positions. Minimal maintenance is needed beyond an occasional wipe down.

Position the Fosse where it catches direct sunlight for accurate time reading. It works well as a lawn centrepiece, at the end of a garden path, or within a formal border scheme. The classical silhouette pairs naturally with cottage gardens, walled gardens, and traditional English planting.
