The dial is painted above the first step of the buttress at the south west corner of the tower. It is overlooked by a tree.
The arched dial-plate is decorated with black furniture on the stone ground and with large gold half sun at top. The dial shows 7am to 5pm in quarter hours - no specific half hour markers - though with two chapter rings this may be the result of re-painting.
The Roman numerals are aligned with the hour lines; noon is XII and 4pm is IV.
There is a simple unsupported gnomon rod.
Motto, below the dial, reads: "THE TIME IS SHORT".
