Fashioned of Portland stone and green slate by Fergus Wessel of Stone Workshop and mounted atop a hexagonal pyramid, the 16.4-foot-tall obelisk features one gold-plated bronze pointer on each side. Wavy incised and gilded lines mark the hours and quarter hours, and encircling the obelisk are engraved hieroglyphics that spell, among other things, Queen, Elizabeth, and Eternity—the sundial being Lord Faringdon’s tribute to the British monarch’s 50 years on the throne. Additional smaller obelisks stand around the central example, giving the effect of a mini Valley of the Kings in the middle of bucolic Oxfordshire.
