...that you can see many aspects of Sutton's heritage and local history just by looking up at the Sutton heritage mosaic (pictured), one of the largest examples of wall art in Britain?.. that if you haven't got time to experience it first hand, you can see many aspects of Sutton's heritage and local history on the Sutton heritage mosaic (pictured), one of the largest examples of wall art in Britain? The Millennium Dial Armillary, which was dedicated to the town in the year 2000 by the Rotary Club. It is in the form of an historical timepiece, and it serves three purposes: firstly, simply to tell the time; secondly, to commemorate time through various inscriptions including the Rotary motto "Service Above Self" and distances to nearby areas such as Kingston upon Thames; and thirdly, to commemorate the work which the Rotary Club has done.

The Millennium Dial Armillary is a popular feature of the town and continues to provide an iconic focus for the town centre.^[2] It will remain as a permanent memorial, marking not just the new millennium but also the central part that the Rotary has played in the welfare of Sutton since 1923.

The brief history of the Sutton armillary is that, in the run-up to the new millennium, the Rotary Club conceived, planned and, together with other organisations, funded the Armillary in response to the local Council's earlier request for millennium projects that had a direct relationship with time. The Armillary was designed to be durable for years to come, and was originally positioned as the central feature of a Millennium Garden. It was slightly re-positioned in 2011, since when it has stood on the edge of the new central square in the town, directly in front of the Waterstones bookshop.
