Sundials often suffer indignities and this diamond-shaped dial on the south-east corner of the porch is a good example. Although it is undoubtedly a vertical south dial, it has been tilted backwards until its gnomon is nearly horizontal. Why this was done, and when, is not known. It shows the hours from VI - VI divided into halves and quarters. It bears the name of the churchwarden of the time, Geo: Hay, and the date 1795. The gnomon is copper.
