DescriptionThe Sundial Diaries cover the period 22 March 1911- 24 March 1935 and record Constance Maynard's retirement.

They cover the time that she lived in both the Sundial in Little Bookham (1911-1919), and the Sundial in Gerrard's Cross (1923-1935), and time staying in Wimbledon and Hawkhust temporarily inbetween.
