This bronze sundial engraved with a figure of Father Time is now in the grounds of Frogmore House at Windsor. It was presented to Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip as a wedding gift from the parishioners of Corsham Regis, on 20 November 1947, and is one of a number of gifts received from across the country and wider Empire.
