Extract

The dial exhibited is interesting, both as a good example of a combination of dials, which was in the first half of the sixteenth centary considered to be the perfection of the diallist art, and of which early examples are almost unknown, and also because it was made for Cardinal Wolsey. Nothing is known of its history, but it is said to have come from a village not far from Peterborough, and it was bought by me in London early in 1900.
