Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

This dial is rather worn but still mostly legible. At the top is a motto containing a spelling mistake, "Vt hora sic fuget vita" (As an hour so does life fly) and below it the date 1634. There are concentric circles round the gnomon root. The dial shows undivided hours VI - VI and the numerals are written according to the "anticlockwise convention" (see Braunton). The setting of the dial is marred by the installation of an electric lamp below it, a not uncommon abuse of dials on church porches, and a belt of trees to the South casts shade over it. It measures 600mm square.
