Measham was one of 245 English communities which were funded to establish millennium greens with input from local communities. Measham chose to have a sculpture commemorating the life of Joseph Wilkes. A competition was held with entrants being judged at a public exhibition. The design chosen was a sundial. The different segments of the mosaic represent different aspects of Wilkes life and activities. They are loosely grouped into water, fire, air and earth-based activities.
