County Museum., Warwick

Painted on the masonry of the south-east facing wall of the County Museum is a vertical dial which declines 62° East. The building dates from 1670 but it is uncertain whether the dial is quite so old. On a blue background is an unusual mixture of gold Roman and Arabic numerals: XI, XII, I, II (the last two engraved) and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. There are traces of a few hour lines. The hour scale is a blue semicircle on an off-white base. The delineation (and hence the presumed declination) may be suspect. There is an iInteresting pattern in thebackground. The gnomon is a bent rod.
