Winchester College (1), Winchester

The dial is not now in its original setting but is in the Lower College Library, formerly the Election Chamber. The motto reads: "Ut Umbra sic Vita Transit" and is unusually in a scroll in the centre of the dial. There is a fly motif rebus below the motto. It shows 7am to 6pm in half hours by lines and quarters, by an alternating border. Noon is indicated by a Cross Patty. Ref: C Daniel, Clocks Magazine,10,10, p30,1988 Ref: Gatty 1900, pp 246, 459
