St Clement Danes Church, Westminster

The dial is on the church tower, mounted in an open pedimented stone surround supported on three fluted corbels. It is painted blue with gold furniture and shows 6am to 4pm in half hours, with curly sun-ray hour and half hour lines. Noon is marked by a sun circle. The black gnomon has a circular support and springs from a 16-point sun. The dial may have been made when the RAF rebuilt the church in the 1950s. Gatty suggests that in 1715 there were two dials on this tower.
