Dial in Oxfordshire

The dial is to be seen on a black and white timbered house on the north side of the High Street, near the market. Otto originally read: ’Aspice et Abi’ (see photo ’c’), but the dial has been repainted and the motto omitted. Gnomon on 11am line. Black paint on white. Upright numerals VI - ’+’ - IV - V (cross for noon). Hour lines to semicircle around the gnomon root; half hour lines with cross bar at inner end; quarter hour marks. Not perfectly painted (eleven am is X1, not XI, and subdivisions are erratic).
