The circular dial is inset into a square capital. Engraved in the corners of the capital are WB, IR, IW and the date of 1649. Hour numerals are VII - XII - IIII - V, read from inside the dial, with a noon gap, and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. A cursive script inscription at the south of the dial is now not legible, but it might mention Will Simpson. The gnomon is broken but the base is still left. All set on an octagonal section waisted column on a three step square plinth.
