St Andrew’s Parish Church, West Dean nr Chichester

The dial is on the south wall of the tower. The time scale is split to accommodate the rectangular section gnomon, and the time is therefore read from the shadow edge and not from the centre. The dial slab supported on two corbels. Dots are used to mark half and quarter hour lines and to mark half hours on the numeral band. Some repair has been made to the dial face. Shows 6am to 4pm in 30,15 and 7.5 mins. Declines 9 deg east.
