Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

The dial is in the Fellows’ Garden. The numerals on this weathered brass equatorial dial are no longer legible, and though the date of 1640 is shown, the dial is very similar to a Pearson Page model from the 1930s (#4235). The maker of the original dial in this position was Bryan of London.
The semi-circular hour ring has its gnomon supported in another semicircle, and there is a heraldic whale or fish at the top. The dial also bears a motto: ’I stand amid ye summer flowers to tell ye passinge of ye houres’.
The base is fixed on a square stone plinth atop a classically decorated column.
