Companion Garden Sundial: Devon Range – A Unique Memorial Crafted from Devon Limestone
Discover the beauty and uniqueness of our Companion Garden Sundial from the Devon Range, an exquisite addition to any garden. Each piece is hand-carved from Stoneycombe limestone, a material exclusive to South Devon, known for its rich tones and distinctive veining that runs throughout the stone. This makes each sundial not only a functional timepiece but also a stunning garden ornament that holds sentimental value.
Detailed Craftsmanship and Materials:
- Material: Each sundial is crafted from unique Stoneycombe limestone, showcasing natural colour variations and intricate veining unique to South Devon.
- Size and Weight: While sizes vary, these pieces are generally around 60cm+ in height and half a metre square at the top, weighing approximately 300kg. We offer custom sizing within reasonable limits to fit your space perfectly.
- Sundial and Armillary Options: Choose between an octagonal brass sundial measuring 25cm or a brass armillary sphere with a 30cm diameter and 45cm height.
Ashes Integration: The limestone boulders are hand-cored to accommodate a double-compartment, handmade aluminium urn, allowing you to discreetly store the ashes of loved ones within. This feature makes the sundial not only a beautiful piece of art but also a meaningful memorial.
Customisation and Personalisation: Our skilled stonemason, who specialises in memorial artistry, can carve inscriptions upon request for an additional fee. This adds a personal touch to the sundial, making it an even more poignant tribute to your loved one.
Exclusive Craftsmanship: Crafted exclusively in the UK, these garden sundials are not available anywhere else, ensuring that each piece is as unique as the memories it represents.
Production Time: Each Memorial Sundial is handmade to order, requiring approximately eight to twelve weeks to complete. We strive to accommodate specific dates as needed, depending on our craftsmen’s schedules. Two appropriately sized urns are provided free of charge, and the sundial fixture is secured with epoxy glue, which is shipped separately.
Embrace the elegance and timeless beauty of the Devon Range Companion Garden Sundial, a perfect way to commemorate a loved one in a serene and personal garden space. For more information on our delivery services and customisation options, please visit our website.

A beautiful and fitting memorial – very pleased with the result.
Took me a while to choose and to order, but Richard, Karen and Cheryl helped me with the process, showing me the optioons available and helping with the practicle details arround the inscription. The memorial is heavy, but the delivery driver used his pallet trolly to move it to the back of the house (despite heavy rain), For the final stage we used a lever to raise it enough to put rollers underneath (some old piping) and so were able to move it position in a flower bed.
So a big thank you to everyone involved!
Richard Martin –
Thanks Martin, I am really glad you are happy with it.
