Vertical stone dialplate with black incised markings set into the flint wall over the South porch. The sundial shows the time from 6am to 4pm using Roman numerals. A date of 1808 is split on either side of the gnomon root and at the top of the dial the motto reads: "Vita Quasi Umbra". The unusual gnomon has a base bar and concave supporter and is also provided with a strirrup attached to the concave supporter.
