Dial in Northumberland
The dial is on the west wall. The motto reads: "Wee Shall". Well cut upright numerals XII - IIII - VIII. Hour and half-hour lines still just visible. Bead and rod border to the dial face. Zig-zag border outside all, with crosses along the lower edge. Supported on a single corbel decorated with a flaming sun. Blade gnomon on single elaborate support set incorrectly. Possibly the gnomon is original but was held by two such supports in its proper position (close to parallel to the dial face).
