Robert Oliver made this dial and the even more splendid one at St Columb Minor in the same year (1826). He was modest enough not to include his name here and we only know he was the maker because characteristic carving features appear both on the dial and on tombstones in the churchyard which he is known to have made. Both dials have horseshoe-shaped chapter rings and columns down the sides which in this dial support a frieze of pinnate leaves. Jonathan and Digory Gray, the churchwardens, have their names in the bottom corners while the motto ’Time passeth swift away’ is in a semicircle below the gnomon root.
