Tempus Fugit
One of the sundial’s most intriguing features is the Latin inscription, "Tempus Fugit." This phrase translates to "Time Flies" in English, serving as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life. It is a philosophical message that has resonated with countless individuals throughout history.
The council hopes that the restored sundial will once again become a focal point for the community, inviting locals and visitors alike to contemplate the passage of time and appreciate the rich history of Oakham.
