Coughton Court [NT] (1), Coughton

The dial is in St Peter’s Churchyard. Church notes state that the dial is 17th century, mounted on the base of the original 7th century village cross. The dial has direct N, S, E and W faces, with plain sheet gnomons, and has upright Roman numerals using XII and IIII. The S and W faces have full length hour lines and half and quarter hour divisions. The dial stands on a circular-sectioned column with a capital and square mount stone, and is topped by a finial ball possibly with a gnomon. The column is badly cracked up most of its south side.
