The dial was a gift from Mrs M Marshall in memory of her father who had been a trustee of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and an inscription on the base reads: "Remember Alderman Leigh Dingley 1896-1970, a trustee of Shakespeare Birthplace". A motto on the pedestal reads: "THE SUN WITH ONE EYE VIEWETH ALL THE WORLD". The dial is a truncated crescent in shape. Hour numerals are VI - XII - IV - VI, with no subdivisions.
