The sundial above the portch dates from 1773. The inscription above it reads...
I am natural clockwork by the mighty One
Wound up at first, and ever since has gone
Its pin (') drops out, its wheels and springs hold good;
It speaks its Maker's praise, though once it stood,
But that was by the order of the workman's power,
And when it stands again it goes no more.
Independent Methodist Church, Women's Auxillary, New Seaham. Situated at the SW corner of Seaham Colliery, "the Nack" and at the northern end of Eastlea Road.
