Rectangular vertical direct south-facing wooden dial on the church tower.
The dialplate, formed from three planks of oak, is canted from the tower wall in order to face due south. All lines and numerals are deeply engraved, not painted. The hourlines radiate from a semicircle at the gnomon root. Shorter half hour lines have inward arrowheads. There are also quarter hour lines in a chapter ring. Outside this are the vertical Roman hour numerals.
The aluminium gnomon is pierced with the restoration date - 1962.
