Charles Leadbetter, writer on astronomy and practical mathematics, was born on 26 September 1681 in the village of Cronton, Lancashire. An early interest in practical astronomy is presumed from his Mechanick Dialling (1737), which includes a vertical sundial for a wall facing exactly 21°10' west of south, for the latitude of Cronton.
