Painted wooden sundial made from seven horizontal boards and mounted on a buttress of the tower. The dial shows the time from 5am to 6pm in 30, 15 and 5 minute intervals, with the lines and numerals being in relief. The iron strip gnomon is offset from noon and has a single S-shaped supporter. A date within the semicircle around the gnomon root is possibly 1832 and at the top of the dial the remains of a motto, but this is not fully decipherable.
