Positioning a horizontal dial against a South wall ensures that its full time scale cannot be used. It is a pity that this has happened to such a good dial as this bronze dial by T. Watkins of London who was working at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. It is quite a large dial, being 550mm in diameter. It shows the hours IIII - VIII divided into halves, quarters and intervals of 5 and 1 minutes. There are scrolls at the ends of the chapter ring. The gnomon measures 382mm along its style.The dial stands on a baluster plinth 1160mm high. When visited a few years back it had disappeared totally behind an overgrowth of the surrounding shrubs so was, for the time being, protected from thieves and vandals.
