The dimensions of this stone dial over the porch (760mmw x 450mmh) are close to the Golden Mean which gives it an attractive appearance. As well as showing us the time of day from VI -VI, divided into halves and quarters, it can also tell us the time of year. Inside the chapter ring are the signs of the zodiac at the ends of declination lines. An earlier gnomon would have had a notch or nodus on it, the shadow of which would move among these lines at different times of the year: the present gnomon lacks this. The motto across ther top reads, "Ex hoc momento Pendet ãternitas" (On this moment hangs eternity).
