Dial in Cambridgeshire

The dial is in the NE corner of the Fellows’ Garden, and commemorates three Fellows of the College killed in WW1. It was moved to its present position in 1930. It shows 6am to 6pm in intervals to 5 mins, using XII and IIII, read from inside the dial, and has an EoT graph at the south side. The ornate octagonal pedestal has a circular capital. This may be earliest dial with a Cartesian EoT graph. Ref BSS Bulletin article, Davis, Trinity Dials.
