The location of this dial has also been described as "Hasells Courtyard" (a group of sheltered housing). It is 1/4 mile west of the church.
Vertical sundial painted on wood. The dial is mounted within a plastered surround, between the upper windows of the building. The dial shows the hours from 6am to 6pm using Arabic numerals on a white chapter ring in the form of a banner scroll, on a light blue (daylight hours?) background. Golden hour lines originate from a gold sun around the gnomon root. The hour numerals also in gold are highlighted with a "shadow" to give the illusion of standing-out from the chapter ring. At the upper part of the dial there is a single star on a dark blue (night-time hours?) background. The metal rod gnomon has a single support strut.
