Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

The dial is inscribed at the south ’Signmakers Penryn / Latitude 50’. It has Roman hour numerals for 5am to 7pm, read from the inside, with no subdivisions. There is a smiling sun face around the root of the gnomon, which is a solid plate with three arcs cut out on the vertical side, and full-length supports. The gnomon was reported missing in 2016.
