Dial in Yorkshire (ER)

This is a very large dial painted on the brickwork around the centre upper window of the farm house. It shows 7am to 5pm in half and quarter hours, using XII & IV. It was restored in 1984. cf SRN 0253. Watson seems to have delineated a dial on this house but there is currently no evidence that the present one reflects it. The origin of the gnomon is not in line with the noon line and some quarter hour markings are suspect - presumably due to ’painting drift’.
