Sundial above the porch of St Just church Telephoto shot to show the sundial above the porch of St. Just church. According to the National Churches Trust this sundial is inscribed "Sic transit gloria mundi" (Thus passes the glory of the world) but I struggled to see the lettering, let alone read it, and the numerals have also become very faint.
