The motto reads: ’Fruere Hora’ (Enjoy this moment). The dial has an arched dialplate with black furniture on a white ground. It displays GMT in Roman numerals and BST in Arabic. It shows 10am to 6pm in half hours (12-6 BST). It has seven declination lines and there is a five petal aperture nodus at the end of the gnomon. There is an EoT graph at the bottom right, with the maker and the date at the bottom. It was made by the house owner.
