In the churchyard of St Andrew’s, at Immingham, there is a socket stone mounted on a brick base – presumably to serve as a sundial. The stone is c. 0.65m square and c. 0.5m deep and has a fragment of broken shaft, still set in lead, in the socket which is cut flush with the top surface of the base. There are a series of fixing holes and a slot cut into its surface, typical of sundial fixings.
The brick base looks 18th C (with 20C repairs) and the large stone (c.0.3m deep) incorporated below the socket stone has a chamfer on its (now) lower surface, and may be another, inverted, socket stone.
