You will find this dial on the south transept and it may have been moved there since Mrs Crowley recorded it in a different position in 1957. The bold and deep engraving has ensured that it is still as easy to read as it was in 1743. As so often happens, the engraver has not taken care to set out his inscription with chalk or charcoal before starting to carve the stone. Of the two churchwardens, John Doble has his name in full but Stephen’s name is abbreviated and finishes in cramped superscript because there is no room left. A very good slate dial nevertheless though the present gnomon is unnecessarily long.
