The dial plate is weathered green, but legible. It has Roman hour numerals for 4am to 8pm and is divided to 2 minute intervals. There are a 16-point compass rose and EoT scales. The gnomon is 18 mm thick. The dial stands on a fluted and decorated grey sandstone column 560 high on an octagonal base slab 1300 a/f. A brass plate on the base reads ’In memory of Dash who died November 22 1869. An affectionate friend of Leila Ada Fox’.
