Informations supplémentaires

William Willett was a Chislehurst builder who campaigned for the introduction of British Summer Time. He did not live to see his idea implemented in 1925 as he was a victim of the 1915 Spanish flu epidemic. This sundial of Cornish granite was erected in 1927 in a glade within Petts Wood - the eastern part of the wood had been purchased by public subscription in the 1920s to prevent it being developed and was later renamed Willett's Wood. The Latin inscription 'Horas non numero nisi aestivas' is 'I only tell the summer hours' in English.
