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

This slate dial on the porch is quite plain, its only attempt at ornamentation being a now obliterated sun in the circle at the top and a fleur-de-lys to indicate noon. It shows VI to VI in undivided hours and the hour lines, which originate from the root of the gnomon, pass through two pairs of concentric circles. The sheet metal gnomon has a notch near its lower end which is too low to be a nodus and the dial has no declination lines anyway. It measures 350mmh x 300mw.
