[Footnote 5: The writer was anxious to obtain some information
respecting that curious relic from the inhabitants of the place:
he was induced, therefore, to address a note of query to the
present resident, of the house in question, Mr. G. C. Hague; but
the following was the extent of the reply received:--"All I know
of the sun-dial is this: It is told that a Jew, who was a mason,
and assisted in putting up the front of Wentworth House, the
mansion of the Earl Fitzwilliam, made the thing, and put it up
during his leisure hours. This is all that I ever learned about
it. I should be greatly obliged to you If you would inform me what
the translation of the Hebrew characters is.--I am, Sir, yours,
&c.--G. C. HAGUE."]
