Isaac Newton's stone sundial plate.
Uploader's Comments
Behind the organ, almost hidden from view, is a stone sundial plate that was cut with a penknife by Sir Isaac Newton when nine years of age. The stone, which has no gnomon, is mounted upside down below a carved wooden effigy of the scientist. Newton's mother, Hannah Ayscough (died 1642) and father, also called Isaac (died 1673), were buried in the church.
