The dial is on the building known as Lyme Cage, an Elizabethan Tower, rebuilt in 1733-35. The dial may postdate this, and was restored in 1998. The motto reads: "Cras Minus Aptus Est" (Tomorrow is too late). There is some damage to the left hand edge.
Ref: Mrs Gatty, who quotes the motto as "Cras minus aptus erit" (Tomorrow will be less seasonable).
