Dial in Isle of Wight

The dial is near the south porch on a slightly tapered cylindrical pedestal (previously on the shaft of a mediaeval cross). Shows 4am to 8pm in 30 and possibly 10 and 5 min marks. Inward 3-dot half hour markers. Uses XII and IIII. Noon gap. Numerals read from outside the dial. In the centre there is a 16 point compass rose. The solid gnomon is near triangular.
