Burdett-Coutts Memorial Sundial
Burdett-Coutts Memorial Sundial, Victorian memorial sundial in St Pancras Gardens, London, England
The structure combines a square Gothic tower with a Portland limestone pinnacle, featuring stone animal statues at each corner of its iron-railed enclosure.
Constructed between 1877 and 1879, the memorial preserves the names of over 70 people whose graves were displaced during the Midland Railway construction in 1865.
The memorial incorporates Latin inscriptions, biblical passages, and relief carvings that reflect Victorian attitudes toward death, memory, and the passage of time.
Visitors can access the memorial within St Pancras Gardens, which opens daily and stands near the intersection of Pancras Road and Camley Street.
The structure functions as both a timekeeping device and a memorial, with mosaic designs and carved figures representing St Pancras, St Giles, Night, and Morning.
