The dial is over the south porch. It was restored in 2009. The motto across the top reads: TEMPUS FUGIT’, and across the base is ’RAWLINGS. BOX. FECIT. 1777’. There is an embossed engraved semicircular sun at the gnomon root. The dial shows 6am to 5pm in 30 and 15 min intervals, with upright Arabic numerals. Incised and black filled hour lines and numerals. Square ended strip gnomon with sector shaped drain-back supporter.
