St Beuno's Church dominates the village of Clynnog with it's cathedral like proportions. Definitely worth a visit with a history of a monastic settlement dating back to around the 7th century. But in the churchyard is this sundial from the 10th -12th century. Not to be confused with a mass clock, it divides the half day of 12 hours into four three hour tides, a system used by the Saxon and Norse settlers probably from Ireland. Clynnog was raided by Hiberno-Norse vikings in 978. The church has a history too big to cover here. The sundial was found in the 19th century being used as a footbridge across a mill stream and put in the churchyard where it is believed to have come from in 1930 #walkingwiththeancestors
