A stone vertical South dial is mounted so high on the East end of the church wall that its top is overshadowed by the eaves. Across the bottom of the dial is the inscription, ’Thomas Davis, Sciagrapher, Inkberrow’. It also shows the date 1841. It shows the hours VI - VI (using IIII and XII) divided into halves.The dial plate is supported by two rectangular stone corbels and topped by a long straight stone lintel. The dial measures 1000mm x 750mm. A mass dial can be seen on the church wall.
