Reused in the east jamb of the priest's door in chancel south wall. It is the stone supporting the lintel.

The doorway has a late medieval moulding form, which is said by Pevsner and Williamson (1979, 154) to belong to the early fourteenth century, though the writer of the Lincoln Architectural Society report ((—) 1891–2, xii), Cox (1912a, 120) and Guilford (1927, 103) suggest the thirteenth century, which must be correct. The reused stone also incorporates a section of the moulding, so was redundant as a sundial by then. The dial itself is greatly weathered, but enough survives to show that the ray subdividing the south-west quartile extended beyond the chapter ring. The dial is clearly older than the thirteenth century, but how much older is not possible to say.
